Two House committee chairmen are requesting the Defense Department provide more information about the military records of congressional candidates that were released without their consent last year shortly before the midterm elections.
Reps. James Comer, R-Ky., of the Oversight Committee, and Mike Rogers, R-Ala., of the Armed Services Committee, sent a letter Thursday to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin seeking documents and answers about what led to the unauthorized releases.“This response is late, threadbare, and unresponsive. It omits obviously pertinent information about the nature of the requests that lead to the improper releases of servicemember records," they wrote.
Comer and Rogers asked for a list of congressional candidates and those elected to Congress from Jan. 1, 2021, to Jan. 3, 2023, whose records were improperly released from any service without consent. They also requested the identities of those involved in the approval process, as well as any details about punitive action taken against them.on military records of Jennifer-Ruth Green, a Republican who unsuccessfully ran for a House seat in Indiana. The story
included a detail about an allegation that Green was sexually assaulted when she served in Iraq.
