“I will work with the appropriate Department of Defense Intelligence (anti-intellectuality, law enforcement, and security) directors to support OSDs, working with appropriate Department of Defense (DOD) stakeholders, including those responsible for maintaining and overseeing appropriate security systems and coordinating with necessary federal partners,” he added.
“This investigation will be launched soon and we will reach a report to the Secretary of Defense, which will include a complete record of fraudulent disclosures within the Department of Defense and recommendations to improve such efforts.
