Inspector General Resources
On October 1, under the cover of the federal government shutdown, the Trump Administration deleted the websites for at least 28 Inspector General Offices—independent watchdogs that root out waste, fraud, and corruption in the federal government. Make no mistake, this has nothing to do with the shutdown.
By intentionally blocking the American people from accessing Inspector General reports and resources, the Trump Administration is covering up their corruption, stripping whistleblowers of avenues to report on wrongdoing from their investigations, and potentially costing taxpayers billions. These actions are a blatant violation of federal laws that guarantee the public’s access to Inspectors General.
As the Committee of jurisdiction over Inspectors General, Oversight Democrats put together this page of resources to support the important work Inspectors General have done to expose waste, fraud, and corruption; ensure the government transparency that Americans have been promised by the law, and protect whistleblowers’ ability to report misconduct.
