Parlatore corrects record after Crow questioning: Navy commander denies mischaracterizations of Pentagon role
Timothy Parlatore, a Navy Reserve commander and Special Advisor to War Secretary Pete Hegseth, publicly corrected Democratic Rep. Jason Crow after the Colorado lawmaker made inaccurate claims during an April 29 House Armed Services Committee hearing.
Parlatore accused Crow of intentionally distorting his military career, security clearance status and advisory role at the Pentagon for political effect during a televised hearing.
The defense lawyer clarified he is not a political appointee but a commissioned officer holding a Top Secret clearance, which is standard for his rank and required by the Navy.
Parlatore denied allegations of working for foreign governments, noting he would be required to register under the Foreign Agent Registration Act if that were true.
Crow has not responded to Parlatore’s letter, which points out that all information about his position and credentials was publicly verifiable.
