He also attempted to get records from the Army National Guard on Colin Schmitt, who is currently serving in the New York National Guard and who ran against Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY), according to Politico.
Jordan and Stewart wrote to Kendall:
In late February 2023, media reports highlighted how the [Office of the Secretary of the Air Force] improperly disclosed Official Military Personnel Files (OMPF) of 11 servicemembers without appropriate authorization or lawful consent. The OSAF reportedly released the personnel files of at least two Members of Congress to an opposition research firm that received money from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). Subsequent reporting indicated that the OSAF’s dissemination of sensitive personal information may have affected more than just these 11 individuals. In doing so, OSAF may have violated Department of Defense policies and federal law.
They added that while the Air force has rightfully taken responsibility for the inappropriate breaches, questions remain unanswered.
They demanded all documents and communications referring or relating to the U.S. Air Force’s disclosure of OMPFs to the Due Diligence Group, excluding the contents of the OMPFs themselves, for the period of January 1, 2021, to the present.
They also demanded all documents and communications referring or relating to any request made by the Due Diligence Group for OMPFs for the period of January 1, 2021, to the present.
They also asked for a complete list of names of current or former OSAF employees involved in or responsible for the improper release of OMPFs for the period of January 1, 2021, to the present, as well as any administrative or disciplinary action(s) taken against them.
They requested the information by 5 p.m. ET on March 30, 2023.
Stewart tweeted on Thursday: “My proudest years were spent defending our great nation in the Air Force. It’s a shame to see this sacred branch of our government weaponized, but we will right this wrong. @JudiciaryGOP will demand accountability to you, The People.”
