Tim Sheehy , the Republican candidate for US Senate in Montana , appears to have failed to follow Pentagon rules for clearing portions of his autobiography about his time as a US navy Seal .

Pentagon officials say they found no record of submitting a DD 1910 form, required for all such projects.

Other memoirs of US military service, including service in Afghanistan , have generated lawsuits.

Sheehy is not the first Trumpworld figure to encounter questions about security reviews of a memoir.

In late 2020 , John Bolton defeated attempts to block publication of his memoir, The Room Where It Happened .

In May 2022 , Mark Esper , Trump ’s second secretary of defense, was cleared by the Pentagon to release his memoir.
