Senate Intel Chair: We Need MoreJust because the Pentagon IG report has been completed doesn’t mean the Office of Special Plans matter is closed.
According to Wendy Morigi, spokeswoman for Senate intelligence committee chairman Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), committee staff reviewed the inspector general’s report and identified “additional documents and interview transcripts” that the committee doesn’t yet have related to the OSP. Today the committee asked for that information from the Pentagon IG’s office.
Before determining whether or not the intelligence committee’s “Phase II” investigation — scheduled for completion around the spring or early summer — needs to go over the question of OSP’s role, Morigi said, the staff wants to have the newly-identified material. Morigi wouldn’t describe what that material is, but she described it as “foundational” to the IG’s judgments.
