Jeffries Demands Criminal Probe Over Sherrill Records Release
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sept. 25 urged a criminal investigation after CBS reported that the National Personnel Records Center — part of the National Archives — released Rep. Mikie Sherrill's nearly unredacted military personnel file, exposing sensitive information such as her Social Security number and home addresses. The NPRC says a technician failed to follow protocols; the Archives inspector general has been notified and Sherrill’s campaign accused allies of Republican Jack Ciattarelli of distributing the files amid a tight gubernatorial race.

Jeffries demands "criminal investigation" into release of Rep. Mikie Sherrill's records
New information:
- CBS reported the NPRC released Sherrill's almost fully unredacted Naval Academy/military file, including Social Security number, home addresses and life‑insurance details.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries publicly called for a criminal investigation and said the release may violate the Privacy Act of 1974.
