Senate Armed Services Committee: Inquiry on Grusch
The Senate Armed Services Committee contacted the DoD OIG seeking information on David Grusch, then an NGA employee. This marked early congressional oversight interest.
Background
On September 1, 2022, the Senate Armed Services Committee contacted the DoD OIG seeking information about David Grusch, identified as an employee of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. The inquiry prompted the OIG to review internal records to assist with congressional oversight. This represents one of the earliest documented instances of congressional interest in Grusch's role and potential knowledge regarding UAP programs, preceding his public whistleblower complaint by nearly a year.
