“Courtney Williams is a courageous whistleblower and truth teller,” Harp said in a statement about the charges against Williams, WRAL News reported. “Courtney Williams is a courageous whistleblower and truth teller. The former Delta Force operator discloses ‘defense information’ on podcasts and YouTube shows every day, but the only reason the government is going after Courtney is because she exposed sexual harassment and gender discrimination in the force. This is an act of vindictive retaliation, plain and simple.”
