You know how things work. He could have heard that a pgm is waived.
What do you mean by "you're free to ask"?
What UAP-related IG investigation are you referring to? The one on Grusch or the broader review?

He wouldn't know if it was waived if he "found" it, and as I said, I know what he was actually briefed to.
I' ve been told by the IG the UAP related investigation has been closed for a year - he is free to tell us, and you' re free to
ask.
There is no excuse for not providing an authorized disclosure.
