Trump's Whistleblower Protection Office Didn't Shield Sources, Inspector General Says
According to the report, the office failed to push out poorly performing senior officials, did not conduct accurate or unbiased investigations and may not have protected identities of whistleblowers.
The office created under the Trump administration to protect whistleblowers in the Department of Veterans Affairs is doing the opposite by putting whistleblowers at risk, according to a report released on Thursday by the agency's inspector general.
According to the blistering report, the office failed to push out poorly performing senior officials, did not conduct accurate or unbiased investigations and may not have protected identities of people who reported waste or harm to veterans.
