Nov. 21, 2025, 4:29 PM ESTBy Courtney Kube and Laura StricklerAn Army hospital in Hawaii said Friday it will begin notifying former patients of a gynecologist who is under criminal investigation for allegedly filming women during examinations.The gynecologist, Dr. Blaine McGraw, worked at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii from June 2019 to June 2023, the hospital said. He had recently been practicing at the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at the Fort Hood military base in Texas.The announcement from Tripler that it plans to reach out to McGraw’s former patients comes five weeks after Fort Hood officials suspended McGraw and a criminal probe was launched.The first batch of letters are expected to go out sometime Friday, according to a source familiar with the matter. The number of patients has not been finalized, but it could be more than 1,500, the source said. It’s not yet known how many, if any, are victims of the crimes being investigated. “Our patients’ health remains our absolute top priority,” Col. William Bimson, director of Tripler Army Medical Center, said in a statement. “I know this information is incredibly upsetting to them, and we are here to provide support. We have many resources to offer, and we want to hear their concerns and help them get the medical care and other support they need.”Bimson added that the former patients will be provided with resources to “learn about the investigation, file concerns, get answers to questions, and arrange medical care and other support.”Col. Mark Jacques, the commander of Darnall Army Medical Center, told NBC News earlier this month that he had sent letters to more than 1,400 of McGraw’s patients informing them of the investigation.As many as 85 patients have reached out to the Army Criminal Investigation Division, or CID, he said, although it’s not clear if all of them were victims of misconduct. NBC News has previously reported that at least 30 women have been identified by Army investigators as having been photographed or videotaped by the gynecologist, according to a patient who was told of that number by investigators and two Army officials.Daniel Conway, an attorney for McGraw, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the outreach effort by the Hawaii army hospital. Conway previously said that the doctor has been “fully cooperative with the investigation.”“We’ve expressed to the government our concern that plaintiffs’ attorneys are holding press conferences citing inaccurate information apparently learned from government sources,” Conway added. “At this point it’s best to let the investigation complete before we comment.”McGraw is the subject of a lawsuit filed earlier this month by one of his former patients at Fort Hood accusing him of recording intimate videos of her without her knowledge. The woman, who is married to an active-duty service member with more than 20 years in uniform, filed the lawsuit under the name Jane Doe to protect her identity.The lawsuit alleges that there are scores of additional victims of McGraw’s misconduct and accuses Army leadership of allowing him to continue practicing despite complaints about him that dated back years. It also accuses McGraw of inappropriate touching, crude remarks and performing unnecessary medical procedures on multiple patients.Jacques, who became commander of the Darnell Army Medical Center in June, told NBC News he was not aware of any prior complaints or concerns.“I’m devastated that these patients and their families have to endure this and have to go through this,” he said.NBC News has previously interviewed two women, including Jane Doe who filed the lawsuit, who said they were interviewed by Army CID about McGraw. They said investigators showed them images they had found on McGraw’s phone depicting the women during breast and pelvic examinations.Courtney KubeCourtney Kube is a correspondent covering national security and the military for the NBC News Investigative Unit.Laura StricklerLaura Strickler is the senior investigative producer on the national security team where she produces television stories and writes for NBCNews.com.

Oct. 21, 2025, 1:30 AM EDTBy Arata Yamamoto and Jennifer JettTOKYO — Lawmakers in Japan elected hardline conservative Sanae Takaichi as prime minister on Tuesday, making her the first woman in modern times to lead the key U.S. ally. Takaichi, 64, the new leader of the governing Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), was elected by lawmakers in the lower house of parliament by a vote of 237-149 over her closest rival, Yoshihiko Noda, leader of the liberal opposition Constitutional Democratic Party. She was also elected by upper house lawmakers in a second vote of 125-46 after falling one vote shy of a majority in the first round.Though her election is a milestone in a country where women are severely underrepresented in government, Takaichi enters office with a fragile coalition and facing a number of pressing challenges, including a visit next week by President Donald Trump. A protege of assassinated former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Takaichi advocates a stronger military, tougher immigration policies and the revision of Japan’s pacifist constitution. She is a veteran politician who has served as minister of economic security, internal affairs and gender equality. Earlier this month Takaichi was elected leader of the LDP, which has governed Japan almost uninterrupted since World War II, after running unsuccessfully in 2021 and 2024. Her ascension to prime minister was thrown into doubt, however, after a crucial partner, the centrist party Komeito, left the LDP coalition.To ensure her victory, the LDP signed a deal on Monday with the Osaka-based Japan Innovation Party, or Ishin, that will pull its coalition further to the right.Even with the alliance, Takaichi faces an uphill battle in parliament, where she falls short of a majority in both houses after the LDP suffered major losses in recent elections amid voter anger over party corruption scandals and the rising cost of living.“She emerges from this a diminished leader from the get-go,” said Jeff Kingston, a professor of Asian studies and history at Temple University’s Japan campus.Takaichi also faces an early test next week with the arrival of Trump, who is making his first trip to Asia since returning to office. He is expected to visit Malaysia and Japan before continuing on to South Korea, which is hosting a major summit of Asia-Pacific economies. “She doesn’t have a whole lot of time to get ready for a slew of diplomatic activity,” Kingston said. “But I think job one is the Japanese economy.”Arata Yamamoto reported from Tokyo, and Jennifer Jett from Hong Kong.Arata YamamotoArata Yamamoto has been an NBC News producer in Tokyo since 1993.Jennifer JettJennifer Jett is the Asia Digital Editor for NBC News, based in Hong Kong.
