At four 33, Thursday morning, we're learning more here at WTO P this hour, about the man who leaked highly classified Pentagon document, sharing them at the time with a small group of the messaging app Discord. Now according to a new Washington Post report this week, the group was made up of roughly two dozen members and were united by their love of guns, God, and military gear. The post spoke this week with a member of the group who says they revered and looked up to the man behind the leak known by some only as OG. When members would have issues like mental health crisis, OG and other members would help them out, there was stuff like family issues like religion issues that he would always help us out on and he was always very charismatic and had a good willpower to get us through these situations. And he really helped all of us. While she did post intelligence and national security reporter Shane Harris, one of the reporters who broke the story says this morning, the man worked on the military base, but his exact identity is still unknown. To have access to the information that he appears to have taken, he would have to have a top secret or better clearance, which is not to say that he couldn't. Many people in his position might thousands of people, in fact. So we don't precisely know what his job is, but it seems to give him access to a lot of this rich material. The fact that he took photographs of the documents could speak to some ability to obscure the images on them. At the same time, when we talk to people who were part of this group, they said he started posting documents because originally he had actually been hand typing and copying documents that he brought home. And it appeared that it was just easier and faster to take pictures of the documents themselves and drop those into his server.

But sheriff chuck Jenkins reversal comes this week after his first appearance Wednesday in a Baltimore federal court. He accused him of making false statements and facing conspiracy charges after prosecutors claimed Jenkins the longtime sheriff used his office to help get machine guns for an area gun shop owner. In court Jenkins pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and was released, one big discussion was over whether a condition which requires a sheriff to give up his guns, including a service weapon should remain, his attorneys claim he's not a risk with them and needs a weapon to protect himself since he's received death threats to support the condition prosecutors cited the police involved shooting death of former governor Larry Hogan's chief of staff Roy McGrath, the judge left the condition in place or Jenkins will have to give up his weapons, leaving the courthouse. Do you have any comments? I have no statement. The sheriff didn't say much about what we did learn after the hearing was that he planned to take a leave of absence starting at the end of the business day on Friday, and that will last until the end of the judicial process, he says, at U.S. district court in Baltimore, Mike Morello, WTO P news.

Now, according to a new Washington Post report out this week, the man shared government secrets with a small group made up of roughly two dozen members of the messaging app known as Discord. The post spoke apparently with a member of the group who told the paper they were united by their love of guns, gods, and military gear. When I say the server is small, I'm talking 20 or less people over the course of four years and everyone in that server bonded like brothers or sisters and came from all sorts of walks of life. Washington Post intelligence and national security reporter Shane Harris says this morning the leaker went by the handle, OG. That's only the name he was given. Harris spoke to WTO P about the man's possible motive for these leagues. This person who knew OG said no, he in fact knew he was breaking the law by sharing it with all of us. He was doing it.

He really also kind of seemed to relish the fact that he knew things that ordinary people did not.
