was twice admonished by his superiors last year over "concerning actions" he took with regards to classified information, federal prosecutors said in a court filing on Wednesday. Jack Teixeira was told by superiors in September and October "to no longer take notes in any form on classified intelligence information and to "cease-and-desist on any deep dives into classified intelligence information," prosecutors wrote in the filing.

But even after being warned, a superior in February found Teixeira viewing classified materials that were not related to his primary duties, according to a Feb. 4 report cited by prosecutors. Wednesday's filing -- which argues in support of keeping Teixeira behind bars until his trial -- gives further insight into what prosecutors are learning in their investigation of Teixeira's actions leading up to his arrest last month as the alleged source of the massive leak of classified national defense information that has since spread across the internet.
