Marine Major Joshua Mast caught up in Aghan adoption case allowed to remain Marine

Marine Major Joshua Mast and his wife Stephanie have been involved in a legal battle after an Afghan couple challenged the adoption of an orphan.
Jennifer Griffin currently serves as a national security correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC) and is based out of the Washington D.C. bureau. She joined the network in October 1999 as a Jerusalem-based correspondent.
"The substantiated misconduct relating to misuse of a government computer did include systems involving classified and unclassified information," according to Major Johnny Henderson, a spokesman for MARSOC. The board did not consider the legality of the adoption lawsuit, which has now been appealed by the Masts and is currently stalled in the Virginia Supreme Court. A civilian appeals court in Virginia earlier this year ruled against the Masts, arguing the adoption should have never been granted. The child remains with the Masts pending appeal.
Mast denied he disobeyed orders and displayed a poster of the child smiling at their home in Hampstead, North Carolina alongside a photo of the child at Bagram Airfield where Baby Doe was taken for medical care following the US airstrike. He argued he was in fact upholding the Marine Corps creed, even though then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and a Virginia federal judge told them to stop trying to adopt the Afghan child.
