Superiors of the US airman charged with leaking highly classified military documents raised concerns internally on multiple occasions about his handling or viewing of classified information, according to a court filing.

Justice Department lawyers made the disclosure in court papers urging a magistrate judge to keep Jack Teixeira behind bars while he awaits trial in the case stemming from the most consequential intelligence leak in years.
