“There was one memory card which contained information. Some of that information was classified,” Mander said.

He also revealed investigators’ initial fears that Manning could have been working with an overseas agency.

“There was a great deal of concern that there could be a foreign intelligence service involved,” the witness said.

Manning’s links to people and places outside the US were checked. “He had lived overseas in the UK,” Mander told the court.

The witness also discussed an investigation into another individual whom they suspected of assisting WikiLeaks.

The name of Jason Katz was provided to authorities by Adrian Lamo, a convicted hacker who became Manning’s confidant before turning him in.
