U.S. Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General reply to the complaint I filed with their hotline

From: U.S. Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General
Subject: Department of Defense (DoD) Hotline Complaint: 20231213-090624/Closed

To: Vincent B. Le Corre

NB: This document is being published for the first time on April 25, 2025. Although I originally received this reply from the U.S. Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General in December 2023, I refrained from making it public at the time out of concern that doing so might constitute a violation of the U.S. Espionage Act. I note, however, that I may have already violated the Act in October 2024 by forwarding the unredacted version of the complaint I filed to a non-American citizen, British Member of Parliament Yuan YANG.

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL. THIS EMAIL BOX IS NOT MONITORED.

Dear Mr. Le Corre:

This is to notify you that the DoD Hotline closed complaint (20231213-090624).

The DoD Hotline is not authorized to release case information or documents. You may file a Freedom of Information Act request with the Federal Burean of Investigation and to the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community to obtain case records which are authorized for public release by that organization.
