from Sputnik News:
Newly surfaced details have revealed that the source of the Pentagon leaks is said to be a man in his early to mid 20s who works on a military base, and is known for his “dark” views of the US government.
An exclusive report by the Washington Post painted a picture late Wednesday of the man behind the leaks and offered insight into how the leaks came to be. The report was primarily sourced by information provided by a teen who first met the leaker online four years prior in a server for fans of the YouTuber Oxide.

A second individual who was part of the same online community corroborated the teen’s remarks under the condition of anonymity. The Post was also provided with some 300 images of classified documents, chat records and an audio recording that captures the source of the leaks speaking with his companions.
In one video viewed by the outlet, the leaker was reportedly seen at shooting range, shouting racial and antisemitic slurs before discharging his firearm.
The teenager relayed to the outlet that the leaker, identified in the retelling as ‘OG’, initially began writing his own reports of the classified information and sharing the files into their own, smaller group chat for a period of several months. He would also use the opportunity to teach the group about military jargon.
The minor explained that while the chat became a pandemic refuge filled with memes and offensive jokes, ‘OG’ used the platform to keep the users “in the loop” about world affairs and government operations.
