Six members of the House of Representatives sent a letter to the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and CDC Director Walensky with a list of questions they’d like answers to. Madison Cawthorn, Bill Posey, Diana Harshbarger, Lisa McClain, Randy Weber, and Matt Gaetz signed the letter, and didn’t specify from whom the answers to these questions should come, just that they demand answers.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) is also demanding answers. He sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin with a list of questions and a couple of requests, but his first paragraph adds a little information to what came out Monday night. Many have wondered what happened once Maj. Joseph Murphy’s report was received by the DoD’s Office of the Inspector General. Johnson writes:
According to the document, Major Murphy sent the disclosure to the Department of Defense (DoD) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for investigation. It is my understanding that the disclosure was subsequently referred by the DoD OIG to the DoD’s Research and Engineering office for further investigation.
That is interesting information.
Johnson paraphrases what was contained in Murphy’s report (which he labels a disclosure) then asks for answers to the following questions no later than January 25, 2022:
Did the office of Research and Engineering receive a copy of the enclosed disclosure
from the DoD OIG? If so, please provide the date it received the complaint?
Has the office of Research and Engineering or another DoD component initiated an
investigation of the allegations in the disclosure? If so, explain what investigative steps
have been taken thus far. If not, please explain why not.
Has the office of Research and Engineering or another DoD component interviewed or
spoken with the U.S. Marine Corps Major who drafted the disclosure? If so, when? If
not, please explain why not.
Does DoD intend to create a written investigate report or any other document based on its
investigation of allegations contained in the disclosure? If so, please provide a copy of
those documents. If not, please explain why not.
Finally, Johnson asks to be briefed on the findings of any investigation that has been conducted, and, most importantly, to “speak with Maj. Murphy regarding his disclosure as soon as possible.”
