报道：赫格塞思办公室以秘密档案拦下海军晋升名单 9人被划去
华盛顿—据 MS NOW 11月9日报道，国防部长赫格塞思的办公室保存只供内部使用的纸质「秘密档案」，内容是工作人员在网上搜索晋升候选军官后打印的材料，被搜的军官本人看不到这些档案；新的审查要求只通过电话口头传达，从不落成文字。
据一名熟悉将官遴选的高级官员说法，海军遴选委员会原选出31名上校晋升一星少将，约15人被列入报告、9人的晋升被扣下，入选的女性与少数族裔军官除一人外全部被划去；在二星少将名单上，唯一入选的女性与每一名有色人种军官都被拿下。这位官员说，这是海军历史上被扣下晋升人数最多的一次，超过2016年「胖伦纳德」贿赂案的6人。
参议员 Brian Schatz 与 Cory Booker 已要求五角大楼督察长展开调查。报道指出，联邦法律要求晋升审查须有书面通知并给当事人回应机会，且只有总统有权从名单上划去名字，赫格塞思办公室的做法可能违法。据报道，截至今年6月，各军种至少40名将官的晋升被拦下，其中约一半是女性或少数族裔。
五角大楼发言人 Sean Parnell 否认种族或性别是晋升考量因素，称晋升只发给凭本事挣得的人。美联社随后采访的多名女性海军军官表示，她们担心这一干预意味着自己的军旅生涯已经有了天花板。

Report: Hegseth's Office Used Secret Files to Block Navy Promotions, Striking 9 Officers From the List
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's office kept paper-only secret files containing printouts of internet searches on officers under consideration for promotion, files the officers themselves could not see, MS NOW reported on November 9. Instructions on the new criteria for promotion reviews were given only verbally by phone, never in writing.
According to a senior official familiar with flag officer selections, the Navy's selection board had chosen 31 captains for promotion to one-star admiral; about 15 received reports and nine had their promotions withheld, and all but one of the women and minorities selected were removed. On the two-star list, the only woman selected and every person of color were also taken off. The official said it was the largest number of promotions withheld in Navy history, surpassing the six removed in 2016 over the Fat Leonard bribery scandal.
Senators Brian Schatz and Cory Booker have asked the Pentagon's inspector general to investigate. The report noted that federal law requires written notice and a chance to respond in promotion reviews, and that only the president may strike names from the lists, so the practice in Hegseth's office may have violated the law. By June, at least 40 general and flag officer promotions across the services had reportedly been blocked, about half of them women or minorities.
Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell denied that race or gender is a factor in promotions, saying promotions go to those who have earned them. Several female Navy officers later told the Associated Press they feared the intervention meant their careers now had a ceiling.
