By Hannah Rabinowitz | CNNJack Teixeira, the Air National Guardsman accused of posting a trove of classified documents online, is expected to plead guilty to federal charges on Monday, according to a source familiar with the matter. In a court filing Thursday, prosecutors in Boston asked for a so-called Rule 11 hearing – proceedings to discuss a change of plea. It is not yet clear what charge he plans to plead guilty to, nor what any potential deal he struck with prosecutors looks like. Once the document leak was discovered, law enforcement embarked on a sprawling and fast-moving search for the leaker’s identity. Prosecutors allege that after the leak was publicized, Teixeira destroyed his electronics and obtained a new phone number and email address.
