The Department of Justice released images of the Pentagon leaker's bedrooms in a court filing arguing that he poses a serious flight risk.
In the filing, prosecutors revealed that a search of 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira's bedrooms in his separated mother's and father's residences discovered a "virtual arsenal" of weapons, including a "bazooka." Though images of the weapons were not released, the DOJ released pictures of both bedrooms, which showed a variety of military decorations.

Pictures of the army-themed bedroom appear to be that of Teixeira's primary residence, that of his mother and stepfather. The image shows camouflage wallpaper and a camouflage net above his bed. Two pictures of United States military soldiers are also pictured.
Another image shows the wall decorations in one of his bedrooms, which include a sketch of a truck with a mounted gun and a radioactive symbol on a corkboard. Next to the board is a target with bullet holes in it.
Of particular note is a small banner hanging on the board, which features the double-headed Russian eagle, a symbol originally adopted by Grand Prince Ivan the Great in the 15th century, representing Russian statehood. The banner is orange and black, the color of Saint George's ribbon, a common symbol of the Russian military.
The ribbon and color scheme have featured prominently in the uniforms of Russian soldiers, separatists, and supporters during the 2014 Donbas war and the war in Ukraine. In fact, it featured so prominently in 2014 that a common disparaging term toward Russian separatists and nationalists was "Colorados," referring to the color scheme of a Colorado potato beetle.
Many of the top-secret documents leaked by Teixeira were related to the war in Ukraine, and pro-Russian channels helped disseminate the documents. They were widely seen as compromising to the Ukrainian war effort.

Another image of one of Teixeira's bedrooms shows another target with bullet holes, scattered papers, a model of a VTOL aircraft, an "easy" button, and various other items.
An image showing one of Teixeira's bedrooms featured what appear to be several airsoft guns, distinguished by the orange cap on the muzzles.
