The complaint was filed by attorney Sean Bigley on behalf of Pentagon lawyer Adam Lovinger. Earlier this month, conservative watchdog Judicial Watch announced it was suing the Defense Department on behalf of Lovinger to force the release of emails and other electronic messages after Lovinger had his security clearance suspended.
“[The complaint] pertained to the misuse of contractors by the Department of Defense, specifically what he perceived as the use of contractors to conduct foreign relations in violation of U.S. law, as well as … gross waste and excessive expenditures that were being lavished on these contractors to do very little work,” Bigley said.
Bigley, who is representing Lovinger pro bono, said his client flagged the concerns about contractors — including Stefan Halper, the professor — as early as 2016, to Lovinger’s leadership at the Office of Net Assessment (ONA), which is like an internal Pentagon think tank. He said Lovinger was specifically concerned Halper was being used by the ONA to “conduct foreign relations in violation of U.S. law — specifically he was being sent out unsupervised around the globe to meet with foreign diplomats and report back” his findings.
In May, Halper was the subject of multiple media reports linking him to the Russia probe, with The Washington Post describing the academic as “the FBI source who assisted the Russia investigation and is at the center of a standoff between congressional Republicans and the Justice Department … a well-connected veteran of past GOP administrations who convened senior intelligence officials for seminars at the University of Cambridge in England.” The complaint was first filed in September 2017 and was updated after the Halper reports.
