Whistleblower Adam Lovinger describes the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment (ONA) as a "slush fund" for politically connected contractors rather than a strategic think tank. Senator Chuck Grassley is investigating the ONA for awarding contracts to Stefan Halper, a key figure in the Russia investigation. Lovinger claims the office has failed to produce assessments on major threats like Iran, Iraq, or Afghanistan, instead focusing on left-leaning academic projects.

President Trump and attorney Rudy Giuliani have criticized the use of a retired professor, identified as Stefan Halper, as an informant within the 2016 campaign. Historical parallels are drawn to the 1980 Reagan campaign, which allegedly used a CIA asset to monitor the Jimmy Carter administration's foreign policy.
