NJ governor's race jolted after Sherrill's unredacted military records released [View all]
New Jersey's closely-watched gubernatorial race was jolted Thursday after the National Archives blamed a technician's mistake for the release of Congresswoman and New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill's unredacted military records.
Sherrill and some Democratic allies are calling for an investigation, saying the release was no mistake but an extension of President Donald Trump's effort to weaponize the federal government against his political opponents.
Responding to a routine records request, the National Archives released Sherrill's unredacted military records that show she had an unblemished career in the Navy, including a 1991 medal for saving the life of a fellow classmate. But the records contained unredacted information such as Sherrill's Social Security number.
"Well, it's really scary in these times, of course, to have all that private information in the public… But I think what this shows too, is that my opponent and the Trump administration will stop at nothing. They will completely weaponize the federal government to achieve what they want," Sherrill said Friday on MSNBC.
