"The release of NJ gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill's full military file is being investigated by the National Archives' watchdog after she complained it was leaked as part of a political hit-job. Will Brown, acting inspector general for the National Archives, announced a formal inquiry into how the files for the New Jersey Democratic rep got into the hands of a key ally to her Republican opponent, Jack Ciattarelli."
""The illegal release of my military records - including my Social Security number - was no mistake," Sherrill said on X earlier in the day Tuesday. "A process that typically takes more than year was thrown out after a Ciattarelli ally made one phone call to a 'very helpful person.'" "If you believe that's an accident, I've got a bridge to sell you.""
"Last week, CBS News reported that it obtained Sherrill's military file with un-redacted details such as her Social Security number, life insurance information, home address, and more. The National Archives had provided the files to political operative Nicholas De Gregorio via a Freedom of Information Act Request. Upon inquiry from CBS News, the National Archives said, "The technician should NOT have released the entire record.""
