A Navy sailor was disciplined after he tried to access President Joe Biden’s medical records.
The unnamed sailor was stationed at Fort Belvoir in Virginia, serving in the Navy’s hospital corps, CBS News reported.
On February 23, he looked up “Joseph Biden” on the military’s Genesis Medical Health System three times, an official familiar with the situation told CBS News.
One of the sailor’s coworkers reported the breach on February 26, prompting an investigation into the case.
But the sailor ended up pulling the record of another man with the same name as the president.
“He did not pull up the right Joe Biden,” the official told CBS News.
“The MHS Genesis system is a secure health system, and at no time was the President’s personal information compromised,” Navy Commander Tim Hawkins said to CBS News.
The official told the outlet that the sailor admitted to the act, and said he had tried to access the records “out of curiosity.”
The Associated Press reported that the sailor received administrative discipline but remained in the Navy after the probe.
