Hegseth unveiled the plans during a speech at an unusual gathering of hundreds of top military leaders this week. He also signed a memo ordering the inspector general to identify anyone who makes a complaint instead of letting them be anonymous, to dismiss any complaints the inspector general deems "non-credible," and to set new, tighter timelines for complaints to be filed and investigations to be completed. Don Christensen, a former chief prosecutor for the Air Force and a Virginia-based attorney who often represents people who file complaints with the inspector general, questioned the need for Hegseth's directive. The killing sparked a movement of women speaking out about sexual abuse in the military and led to changes in how they can report it. While VanLandingham acknowledged Hegseth's position, she said he is making "changes to systems that have been shown to help reduce sexual harassment and sexual assault" and were created in response to widespread systemic racial and sexual discrimination and harassment.
