Pentagon official with security clearance charged with running dogfighting ring

Pentagon and animal rights advocates react to a senior defense official accused of running a dogfighting ring as part of much larger network.

According to court documents, Anne Arundel County Animal Control found two dead dogs with wounds in a plastic bag about six miles from Moorefield’s house five years ago in 2018. Mail addressed to Moorefield was also found in the same plastic bag.   Liz Friden is a Pentagon producer based in Washington, D.C.

Responding to a question from Fox News on this, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said, "It’s an ongoing case. I think these are some things that of course will come out in the investigation. I think you raised an excellent point on, you know, why or -- were behaviors caught when it should have been. That's something that will be revealed of course as the Department of Justice leads this investigation."
