❗️This photo shows 21-year-old pilot Jack Taishair, who is considered the leader of an online group through which confidential Pentagon documents were leaked.

According to The New York Times, he supervised a chat called "Thug Shaker Central," where several months ago, one of the users uploaded hundreds of pages of intelligence briefings.
