In a recent exclusive interview, former US Coast Guard Commandant Karl Schultz revealed his decision to withhold the explosive findings of an investigation known as 'Operation Fouled Anchor' from Congress. The investigation documented years of sexual assaults at the agency's prestigious academy, spanning from the late 1980s to 2006.
Schultz expressed concerns that lawmakers wouldn't protect the privacy of the victims if the findings were shared with Congress. He emphasized that his decision was based on his belief that presenting the findings to lawmakers would have led to a political spectacle rather than a focus on the victims' wellbeing.
