Justice Department Watchdog Accused of Neglecting Whistle-Blower Concerns
Lawyers for a DOJ whistle-blower claim the department's internal watchdog has failed to address potential wrongdoing by the Trump administration, raising concerns over lack of oversight.
Justice Department lawyers and advocates say the department's internal watchdog has gone silent on a whistle-blower's allegations of wrongdoing by the Trump administration. The lawyers for the unnamed whistle-blower claim the DOJ Inspector General has seemingly ignored the concerns, raising questions about the lack of oversight and accountability at the highest levels of the federal government.
The whistle-blower, whose identity has not been disclosed, reportedly submitted information to the DOJ Inspector General office about potential issues within the department. However, the whistle-blower's lawyers say they have received no response or indication that the allegations are being investigated.
