This Office of the Secretary of Defense FOIA release, dated May 18, 2026, is 40 pages of October 2023 email chains. They show the privacy and intelligence oversight office drafting a reply to Rep. Tim Burchett, who had asked about a reported June 2023 Air Force complaint against David Grusch. The November 1, 2023 response from Mark D.
