First Intelligence Community Inspector General; Grusch's attorney

2022–2023 · Former officials and military · Official

The first Intelligence Community Inspector General confirmed by the Senate (2011), he is a partner at the law firm Compass Rose Legal Group. In May 2022 he filed with the ICIG, on behalf of Grusch, the complaint for “urgent concern” and retaliation; on June 9, 2023 the firm announced that it had concluded the engagement, specifying that the complaint did not go into the details of classified information and that the media had misrepresented its scope. He spoke at the Sol Foundation's 2023 symposium.
