A Navy captain wrote a letter raising the alarm about a spike in coronavirus cases onboard his aircraft carrier.

He was just fired by President Trump's acting Navy Secretary.

We are opening an investigation and will be demanding answers.

Update: Trump's acting Navy Secretary has resigned after firing (and then insulting) the aircraft carrier captain who raised the alarm about coronavirus onboard his ship.

We're still investigating the entire incident.

The public still doesn't have the full story about the firing of a Navy captain who raised the alarm about coronavirus on his ship.

We've filed a series of FOIAs asking for records from senior Pentagon and Navy officials regarding the incident: americanoversight.org/?s=crozier
