'SMEAR MACHINE': Indiana Republican sounds off after Air Force admits to 'unauthorized release' of her records
Fox News
Jennifer-Ruth Green says she feels “vindicated,” yet “frustrated," after the Air Force admitted that her military personnel records were released to a third party "without proper redaction."
"I feel like I'm vindicated in what I've been saying all along. There are people that accused me of trying to have a last ditch smear effort on the congressman, and the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee], and the Democrat machine," Green said.

"It happened exactly how I said it happened. My documents were obtained not through a FOIA request like Politico falsely claimed. Politico's lawyers knew better, they knew these documents couldn't be obtained through FOIA, and they worked to be part of the Democrat smear machine… they lied to cover their tracks," she continued.
Following the October 2022 story from Politico, Indiana GOP Reps. Jim Banks and Larry Bucshon spoke with Air Force Inspector General Lt. Gen. Stephen Davis about the release of Green's records. At the time, the congressman, as well as the Air Force, noted the matter was still under investigation.
