My new @thedailybeast.bsky.social column on a serious threat to government accountability. The Labor Department is facing multiple allegations of misconduct, but the IG is a political ally, personal acquaintance of those involved. www.thedailybeast.com/is-the-white...

I’m quoted in this @nytimes.com article on Minnesota fraud claims. I welcome the president's focus on rooting out fraud, but this administration has taken steps that seem to fly in the face of that goal. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/u...

In this @nextgovernment.bsky.social article, I share my concerns that fraud is a serious issue that deserves credible investigation. But broad fraud accusations must be backed by independent oversight or they can do more harm than good. www.nextgov.com/policy/2026/...

Minnesota underscores the importance of public trust in government oversight. One year ago, I was one of 17 IGs fired without cause, a blow to independent watchdogs. This video explains why independent oversight matters more than ever. youtu.be/WF6ZZGW-D2s

ICYMI, I was on @cnn.com this morning discussing the Signalgate IG report. I explain why I thought the report was both troubling and heartening. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygcg...

I’m encouraged OMB has reversed on CIGIE funding and applaud Senators Grassley and Collins for their efforts to restore funding. My thoughts here: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The only Dept. with a $1 trillion budget is hiding a lot. Hegseth can't take scrutiny or criticism. He should have been fired after SignalGate.

The firing of IG Parisa Salehi is an affront to American taxpayers. As I told @nytimes.com, she is exactly who the American people should want to conduct fair, objective, independent oversight. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

I hope you'll read my remarks in a recent @bloomberglaw.com article about the appointment of Don Berthiaume as Acting IG at DOJ. It's important to acknowledge when sound decisions are made, and his appointment deserves credit. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

I was on @cnn.com's Laura Coates Live last week discussing DOJ indictments, new IG developments, and the Tom Homan bribery allegations that were the subject of my new @nytimes column. Watch: www.linkedin.com/posts/mark-l...

The White House announced Don Berthiaume will serve as Acting Inspector General at DOJ. This is a sound decision and good news for the American people. Read my statement.

More coverage of how the administration's move to defund CIGIE is “further hollowing out of the work of federal inspectors general” and includes my thoughts on the impact. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

It is one of many policies being rolled out by #Hegseth — including new limits on the military’s #independent service #InspectorsGeneral & #EqualOpportunity offices — that may ultimately reduce the number of avenues #ServiceMembers or #defense personnel have to point out potential problems in […]
Read @washingtonpost.com on administration plans to end funding of CIGIE.

Here is my statement on The Office of Management and Budget's decision to defund the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency. Every American should be alarmed.

A federal judge ruled that while inspectors general fired by Donald Trump cannot be reinstated, the way they were removed violated the law. In @govexec.bsky.social, Sean Newhouse covers the decision and my perspective.

US District Court Judge Ana Reyes ruled on the firing of US Inspectors General, confirming what many of us have long maintained: President Trump's dismissals of Inspectors General were deeply troubling and violated the law. My statement:

The White House has sent a message to inspectors general: there are consequences for oversight it doesn't like. My new @newsweek.com column discusses the importance of preventing further erosion of the IG community. www.newsweek.com/our-governme...

For decades, Senator Chuck Grassley fiercely defended Inspectors General. But as the White House removes and weakens IGs, Grassley’s once-powerful voice has gone quiet. My new column: thehill.com/opinion/cong...

Important read in @govexec.bsky.social on the Administration’s continued undermining of Inspectors General across the federal government. IGs MUST be independent and empowered to operate without fear or favor.

If you missed the @nytimes.com article run online on Thursday about a pervasive culture of fear inside inspectors general offices, it's on the front page of today's print edition. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/u...
#Watchdogsnotlapdogs #IGs #InspectorsGeneral #Fraud #Abuse @lukebroadwater.bsky.social
www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/u... “Mr. Trump has fired or demoted more than 20 #InspectorsGeneral or acting inspectors general since he took office six months ago. In the 2024 fiscal year alone, inspectors general fired by Mr. Trump identified more than $50 billion in waste and abuse.”
It is alarming that current and former staff members inside inspectors general offices say there is a pervasive culture of fear. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/u...
