Neo-Nazi Marine Corps veteran had ‘classified DOD documents’ on his hard drive when he was arrested in 2020 on suspicion of plotting to attack power grid and ‘commit acts of racial terror’
A US Marine Corps veteran who was arrested for allegedly plotting terror attacks had classified Defense Department materials 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.
The 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 Defense Department has provided any explanation as to how he obtained them.
He served as a Russian linguist for the Marine Corps in electronic communications, though it is unclear if he passed on classified information to a foreign government.

Authorities arrested him in October 2020 and executed a search warrant at his apartment in Boise, where they seized an external hard drive.
A federal prosecutor later informed a judge that investigators uncovered what ‘appeared to be classified material’.
Duncan has not been charged with any new indictments in relation to the classified documents.
He has been charged in connection with a plot to damage a power grid somewhere in the northwest US, as well as planning to legally manufacture and sell guns.
Along 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 assailants use assault-style rifles in an attempt to explode a power substation, though the location of the attack has not been confirmed.
Duncan, who was stationed at Camp Lejeune, in North Carolina, gathered information on firearms, explosives and nerve toxins and shared it with Kryscuk and Collins.
He joined a group organized by a fellow US Marine, who used a neo-nazi forum to recruit members for a ‘modern-day SS’, according to the indictment.
After separating from the Marines in 2018 he moved to Idaho and discussed the shooting of protesters with a group who watched the BLM rallies in Boise.
FBI agents notified two BKM movement co-founders that their names were on a list kept by a different member of the paramilitary group.
Duncans’ possession of classified information would be the second in recent months to rock the US, after a National Guard airman was arrested on suspicion of leaking top-secret Pentagon documents.
