Jim Banks and Larry Bucshon released a joint statement calling on the Air Force to take responsibility for the leak. The two congressmen detailed a Tuesday call with Air Force Inspector <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Lt. Gen. Stephen Davis, who confirmed the file was actually leaked to an opposition research firm, which is how they were presumably later given a Politico reporter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn yesterday\u2019s call, the Air Force took full responsibility for improperly releasing Lt. Col Green\u2019s confidential personnel records to an opposition research firm just weeks before the midterm election,\u201d the statement said. \u201cLt. Gen. Davis informed us that the leaker has been identified and will be held accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/magazine\/2022\/10\/07\/shes-black-and-conservative-in-a-democratic-district-is-she-about-to-take-off-politically-00060703\">Politico profile\u00a0on Green<\/a>, candidate for Indiana\u2019s 1st Congressional District, included details from poor performance evaluations in her military personnel file. It included that in 2009, \u201can Iraqi serviceman sexually assaulted [Green] by grabbing her breast and exposing himself\u201d when \u201cshe and a small group of officers visited the national training center.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Green told Politico that when she reported the assault against the advice of those in her command, her career was \u201cintentionally derailed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Politico profile said that the records \u201cwere obtained by a public records request and provided to Politico by a person outside the Mrvan campaign,\u201d referring to Green\u2019s Democratic incumbent opponent Rep. Frank Mrvan.<\/p>\n<p>Only a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/personnel-records-center\/foia-info\">limited amount of information<\/a>\u00a0about service member records is typically available through a Freedom of Information Act request for records less than 62 years old, unless the service member or next of kin provides written consent.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>At the time of the profile, Green said she had not given permission for the records to be released and demanded an investigation. She said she also asked Politico to not publish information about her assault.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a survivor of sexual trauma in the military, and I am being forced to discuss it publicly for the first time because Congressman Mrvan or his supporters obtained \u2014 either illegally or by egregious error \u2014 military records describing my sexual assault as well as performance reviews, and peddled those records to the media with the intent smear me and my military career \u2026,\u201d Green said in a statement to Politico.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Banks and Bucshon called for the Air Force to provide more information about the opposition research firm\u2019s connection to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThe Air Force improperly affected a competitive House race and must provide transparency before election day,\u201d the congressmen said. \u201cWe are calling on the Air Force to publicly take responsibility for mishandling Lt Col Green\u2019s service records. Additionally, before the midterm election, the Air Force should release any information it has regarding the financial relationship between the DCCC and the opposition research firm that sent confidential records to Politico\u2019s Adam Wren to smear a servicemember who happens to be running for public office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the Air Force taking responsibility, Green\u2019s team alleges that Mrvan at least knew about the leak.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe walls are closing in on Congressman Mrvan,\u201d Kevin Hansberger, Green\u2019s communications director, said in a statement to The Hill.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cHe denied any involvement in obtaining and leaking Jennifer-Ruth Green\u2019s military records. Now we know the Air Force did release documents illegally to a Democrat opposition research firm. And we know what firm it was and we know they work for the DCCC \u2026 which has been coordinating so closely with Frank Mrvan that every ad he\u2019s aired in this race they split the cost of. To believe Mrvan and his cronies didn\u2019t know is laughable. There is more to come.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Though Indiana\u2019s first congressional district has elected a Democrat since 1931, a year of inflation, increased crime and the debate around abortion rights has Democrats across the country in a perilous position.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Politico, the DCCC and Mrvan\u2019s campaign did not respond to requests for comment.\u00a0\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
