The "if needed" tells me they aren't sure what if anything is wrong yet. It would surprise me if they have done that much of an investigation in the few hours since they might have learned about this beyond scheduling meetings with involved parties and compiling relevant documents in a folder.
I think they are at the point of having a bunch of angry emails and a few news articles from certain publications. I don't blame them wanting a bit more than that before saying anything.
