UAP whistleblower David Grusch has filed a lawsuit against the Loudon County Sheriff’s Department for releasing his confidential medical records related to a mental health episode in 2018. The lawsuit claims this disclosure violated his privacy and potentially Virginia state privacy laws, reports unknowncountry.com.

The records, obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, were featured in an August 9, 2023 article in The Intercept, which former CIA Staff Operations Officer Tracy Walder called “a smear campaign.”

These police reports detailed incidents in 2014 and 2018 at Grusch’s Leesburg, Virginia residence. The 2018 incident involved treatment for severe depression due to combat-related PTSD and a friend’s recent death.
