It's under federal investigation that a member of his team... actually got access to those records," Sherrill said during Wednesdays debate."When he was asked about it, he acted like he had no idea what his campaign was doing. So either hes really incompetent, or hes lying."TOP GUBERNATORIAL RACE ROCKED BY ALLEGATIONS OF LEAKS AND DIRTY TRICKS AMID IMPROPER MILITARY RECORDS RELEASEDespite Sherrill's explanations about the records, Ciattarelli said he believes that's not the whole story."We believe she either cheated herself or she lied to the investigators," he told host Brian Kilmeade."All she has to do is approve the release of her disciplinary records to come clean and be transparent with the people of New Jersey as to why she was punished at the Naval Academy."During Wednesdays debate, Sherrill accused Ciattarelli of misleading voters and contributing to the opioid epidemic through ties to pharmaceutical-backed training programs.
