He Ministry of Defense He has dissolved his net acquisition office, an arm of the Pentagon in the form of a group of experts that Republicans have affirmed that he was involved in Trump-Russia’s investigation.
Pentagon’s chief spokesman Sean Parnell said that civilian employees within the office would be “reallocated to missionary roles”, since the DOD established a plan to rebuild the office “aligned with the strategic priorities of the department.”
The office is aimed at providing a long -term strategic analysis within the DOD, but has become an objective of the Republicans who claim that he has participated in “projects not related to his mission.”
“Praise the Lord. This wise movement saves American taxpayers more than 20 million dollars a year,” Senator Chuck Grassley, a Iowa Republican, said in a statement.

He called the office “wasteful and ineffective.”
The office in recent years has focused on strategy with China. He defended a strategy known as “Battle of A those”, where a blinding campaign against the Popular Liberation Army (PLA) of the landowners and submarines of stealth. China’s long -range surveillance before a naval assault.
But Grassley has examined Oona’s hiring practices for years.
Ona has not been able to produce net evaluations classified for years, with the complaint analyst Adam Lovinger once complained in the emails to director James Baker that the office seemed to attract Caro academic style documents instead of classified net evaluations.
“On the subject of quality, more than once I have heard our studies of contractors labeled ‘derivatives’, ‘at the university level’ and largely based on secondary sources,” Lovinger wrote in an email in September 2016. “One of our contractor studies was literally cut and attached to a World Bank report.”
Lovinger had complained about questionable government contracts granted to Stefan Halper, an FBI informant who He spoiled in the Trump campaign in 2016.
The DOD General Inspector report later found that Halper had not properly documented the investigation he did as a contractor in four studies valued at $ 1 million. The four contracts, which covered from 2012 to 2016, were destined to cover relations between the United States, Russia, China and India.

The report found that Halper had not provided evidence of any meeting he had or location he had visited as part of his studies.
“Ona’s staff could not provide us with any evidence that Professor Halper visited any of these locations, established an advisory group or met with any of the specific people listed in the work statement.”
For a study on how relations with China could be seen in 2030, Halper had proposed to travel to London and Tokyo.

“The contract was the fixed price based on the acceptance of the deliverables and did not require that Professor Halper submit travel receipts. ONA Personnel could not provide documentation that Professor Halper traveled for this contract.”
The contracts show that Halper listed a Russian intelligence officer as a consultant for a Oona project, the same intelligence official who appeared as a source in the Trump file used to spy on Carter’s page. He was in contact with Page and the former assistant of the Trump campaign, George Papadopoulos, “asking questions about whether Halper used US taxpayers dollars to find connections with Trump’s campaign officials,” according to Grassley.

Halper was also a confidential human source for FBI investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections that registered conversations with campaign officials.
The senator states that Oona has reviewed his research on Halper’s relationships with the Trump-Russia research.
Senator Jack Reed, Dr.i., Top Democrat in the Armed Services Committee, described the closure of the “Miope” office, adding that “it would undermine our ability to prepare for future conflicts.”
