The House Oversight Committee voted on Wednesday to subpoena Rolling Stone contributing editor Seth Harp after he shared a picture and biography of a Delta Force commander that he said played a central role in the recent U.S. military operation in Venezuela.
Harp posted the commander’s biography — which included the officer’s first and last name and the fact he had a wife and five daughters — to X on Sunday. The journalist later claimed X locked his account until he deleted the post, according to a Monday statement he posted on the social media platform.
The Daily Caller News Foundation is withholding the commander’s name and the contents of the his biography which Harp had posted.
Republican Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who sits on the House Oversight Committee, put forth the motion to subpoena the journalist, calling Harp’s move “doxxing” and saying that he “leaked classified information.”
“I have made a motion to subpoena Seth Harp, which passed unanimously with bipartisan support in committee, to face accountability for leaking classified intelligence related to Operation Absolute Resolve, including the doxxing of a U.S. Delta Force commander,” Luna said in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“That conduct is not protected journalism. It was reckless, dangerous, and put American lives at risk. The First Amendment does not give anyone a license to expose elite military personnel, compromise operations, or assist our adversaries under the guise of reporting. Congress has a constitutional duty to investigate when national security is endangered, and no one is above oversight.”
“Seth Harp has also been referred to the Department of Justice for his actions, and I look forward to the findings of the investigation,” Luna’s statement added.

Don’t mess with the Delta Force Commander.
Liberals don’t work in media to report news. They work in media to influence people politically while pretending they are reporting news.
Go after the despicable person who leaked it to him.
I know that is what is supposed to be the reason for this subpoena.
He should lose his access to X permanently.
Yes, squeeze this reporter until he gives the leakers name.
How is going before congress being help accountable. 2 years in jail is bowing held accountable.
We have become such a sissy country.
Just publish the address of this reporter. There’s probably something retired DF’s might want to talk to this guy about.
They’re the propaganda arm of the Democrat party.
The crime committed would have been by the person who leaked him the information. The reason you call him before Congress is to force him to give up that name, and if he refuses, you can then throw him in jail for contempt until he does.
Treason. Arrest him, try him, execute him.
What an azz!
This
Have to hold his feet to a fire for a bit to get that information.
Isn’t it a crime to report it? If he found it on his own and reported it isn’t the reporting it the crime?
It depends how he acquired the information. Which is why getting him before Congress and asking him that question under oath is so critical.
Find the leakers.
