“Subsequent reporting indicated that the OSAF’s dissemination of sensitive personal information may have affected more than just these 11 individuals.”

The House Judiciary Committee and its select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government launched an investigation into the leak of Air Force records of former GOP House candidates and current GOP House members to Due Diligence Group, a Democrat-aligned firm.

Chairman Jim Jordan and Rep. Christ Stewart (R-UT) alerted Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall of the investigation, asking for all documents about the leaks, The Daily Wire learned.

“In late February 2023, media reports highlighted how the OSAF improperly disclosed Official Military Personnel Files (OMPF) of 11 servicemembers without appropriate authorization or lawful consent,” wrote Jordan and Stewart. “The OSAF [Office of the Secretary of the Air Force] reportedly released the personnel files of at least two Members of Congress to an opposition research firm that received money from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). Subsequent reporting indicated that the OSAF’s dissemination of sensitive personal information may have affected more than just these 11 individuals. In doing so, OSAF may have violated Department of Defense policies and federal law.”

Politico revealed Due Diligence tried to get former GOP House candidate Colin Schmitt’s National Guard records, showing the group didn’t just target the Air Force.

Schmitt is still an active member of the National Guard.
