The House Oversight Committee voted on Wednesday to subpoena Rolling Stone contributing editor Seth Harp after he shared a picture and biography of a Delta Force commander that he said played a central role in the recent U.S. military operation in Venezuela.
Harp posted the commander’s biography — which included the officer’s first and last name and the fact he had a wife and five daughters — to X on Sunday. The journalist later claimed X locked his account until he deleted the post, according to a Monday statement he posted on the social media platform.
The Daily Caller News Foundation is withholding the commander’s name and the contents of the his biography which Harp had posted.
Republican Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who sits on the House Oversight Committee, put forth the motion to subpoena the journalist, calling Harp’s move “doxxing” and saying that he “leaked classified information.”
“I have made a motion to subpoena Seth Harp, which passed unanimously with bipartisan support in committee, to face accountability for leaking classified intelligence related to Operation Absolute Resolve, including the doxxing of a U.S. Delta Force commander,” Luna said in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“That conduct is not protected journalism. It was reckless, dangerous, and put American lives at risk. The First Amendment does not give anyone a license to expose elite military personnel, compromise operations, or assist our adversaries under the guise of reporting. Congress has a constitutional duty to investigate when national security is endangered, and no one is above oversight.”
“Seth Harp has also been referred to the Department of Justice for his actions, and I look forward to the findings of the investigation,” Luna’s statement added.
