(RestoreAmericanGlory.com) – On Tuesday, it was confirmed by the Pentagon that a junior Navy Sailor was unsuccessful in accurately accessing President Joe Biden’s medical records through a military database in February. The news was first reported on by CBS News, while the name of the sailor had not been released. 

According to the report the sailor had tried three times on Feb. 23 to access the Genesis Medical Health System pulling the medical records for “Joseph Biden” but had been unsuccessful in pulling up the right person. 

In February Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had been notified of the attempted breach. At the time the White House had also received notification about the attempt. This was later revealed to reporters by Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder.

Ryder pointed out that the important thing to note in this case is that the president’s personal medical information had never been compromised and that the sailor had only accessed the electronic health records of someone else and not the United States president. 

On Feb. 26 Navy Criminal Investigative Service launched an investigation into the incident after one of the sailor’s co-workers had reported on the incident. 

Cmdr. Tim Hawkins, the Navy spokesperson, told The Hill that the junior sailor had admitted that he had looked up the president on the database “out of curiosity.” The investigation concluded on April 24 and found that the sailor had accessed records that did not belong to the president. It was further noted that the medical records of the President are restricted.
