A United States Marine Corps veteran who was arrested for allegedly plotting terrorist attacks had Department of Defense documents filed on his hard drive.
Jordan Duncan, 28, had the documentation on his computer when he was arrested in Idaho in October 2020, according to RawStory.
Details of the materials have not yet been confirmed, but they were found along with documents detailing how to make bombs.
Neither Duncan, a neo-Nazi, nor the Ministry of Defense offered any explanation of how he obtained them.
He served as a Russian linguist for the Marine Corps in electronic communications, although it is unclear whether he passed classified information to a foreign government.

He served as a Russian linguist for the Marine Corps at Camp Lejeune in electronic communications, although it is unclear whether he passed classified information to a foreign government.
Authorities arrested him in October 2020 and executed a search warrant at his Boise apartment, where they seized an external hard drive.
A federal prosecutor later informed a judge that investigators had uncovered what “appeared to be classified material.”
Duncan has not been charged with any new indictments in relation to the classified documents.
He was charged with a conspiracy to damage a power grid somewhere in the northwestern United States, as well as intending to legally manufacture and sell firearms.
With Paul Kryscuk, 36, Liam Collins, 23, and Joseph Maurino, 25, Duncan researched and discussed a previous attack on a power grid by an unknown group.
The incident saw the attackers use assault rifles in an attempt to blow up an electrical substation, although the location of the attack has not been confirmed.
Duncan, who was stationed at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina. gathered information about firearms, explosives, and nerve toxins and shared it with Kryscuk and Collins.
He joined a group organized by Collins, a fellow US Marine, who used a neo-Nazi forum to recruit members for a “modern day SS”, according to the indictment.

Alicia Garza, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, was told by the FBI that her name appeared on a list obtained during an investigation related to the arrest of one of the Boise suspects
With Paul Kryscuk, 36, Liam Collins, 23, and Joseph Maurino, 25, Duncan researched and discussed a previous attack on a power grid by an unknown group.
The e Marines investigated Collins after the media identified him as one of several former active duty personnel who anonymously posted messages on the now defunct neo-Nazi Iron March bulletin board.
After parting ways with the Marines in 2018, Duncan moved to Idaho and discussed the shooting of protesters with a group that watched BLM rallies in Boise.
In an Instagram conversation on Oct. 1, 2020, Kryscuk and Duncan fantasized about shooting protesters in Boise, according to a federal indictment.
Duncan: “How BSNs end up stopping for chipotle after hitting legs.”
Kryscuk: ‘Death squad…. Assassins Creed hoodies and deleted 22 guns.
FBI agents informed two co-founders of the BLM movement that their names appeared on a list maintained by another member of the paramilitary group.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Barbara Kocher showed a judge a 90-second recruiting video in December 2020 which she said shows Duncan firing shots, participating in military-style drills and saluting ‘Heil Hitler’ with three other members.

They all wore skull masks associated with a neo-Nazi group called the Atomwaffen Division, the indictment says.
Duncans’ possession of classified information would be the second in recent months to rock the United States, following the arrest of a National Guard airman suspected of leaking top-secret Pentagon documents.
Defense officials are currently investigating how 21-year-old Jack Douglas Teixeira first gained access to, and then disclosed, highly classified military and DoD secrets.
The humble airman with less than four years of military service was arrested while reading a book in the garden of his mother’s home in Dighton, Massachusetts, about 50 miles south of Boston.
Federal agents in an armored car and military gear rushed Teixeira, with the episode embarrassing the United States by exposing its spying on allies and alleged Ukrainian military vulnerabilities.
