Office of Net Assessment, Adam Lovinger Whistleblower
Whistleblower Adam Lovinger describes the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment (ONA) as a "slush fund" for politically connected contractors rather than a strategic think tank. Senator Chuck Grassley is investigating the ONA for awarding contracts to Stefan Halper, a key figure in the Russia investigation. Lovinger claims the office has failed to produce assessments on major threats like Iran, Iraq, or Afghanistan, instead focusing on left-leaning academic projects.
