The report said that Joe Kasper, chief of staff of Hegss, conducted a Pentagon investigation into the Pentagon in a March 21 memorandum, the latest move. Casper mentioned in his memorandum: “If this work results in the identification of the parties responsible for unauthorized disclosures, I would like to notify immediately and forward the information to the appropriate criminal law enforcement entity for criminal prosecution,” the quote.
He also said: “The use of a polygraph in the execution of this investigation will comply with applicable laws and policies,” cited in the report.
