Overview
- In fresh remarks after a debate, Mikie Sherrill said she told Naval Academy investigators what she knew, after earlier saying she did not come forward with information.
- Sherrill has acknowledged she was barred from walking at the 1994 commencement following the 1992 EE311 cheating probe, in which 88 midshipmen were found guilty according to contemporaneous reports.
- Classmate Brent Sadler and a person involved in the investigation questioned her explanation and suggested her punishment implies additional undisclosed factors.
- Her campaign has not released her full Academy records and says a 254‑day post‑graduation period at Annapolis reflected temporary duty while she awaited a flight‑school slot.
- The controversy is fueling political and legal clashes, with Sherrill’s team accusing Jack Ciattarelli of smears and Ciattarelli’s campaign announcing plans to sue over her debate accusation about his publishing company.
