Chuck Grassley warns Trump against sidelining watchdogs

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is urging President Trump to walk back a signing statement from last month's massive coronavirus package, warning it could be used to sideline inspectors general (IGs).

Grassley, in a letter to Trump, said he was "concerned" the White House document from March 27 could "negatively impact the ability of IGs to independently communicate with Congress."

"Read broadly, this interpretation could be cited as authority to unduly strip IGs of their fundamental ability to timely report waste, fraud, abuse, and misconduct in government programs to Congress. Such authority is vital to their role in securing government transparency and efficiency, and is a critical role that all IGs routinely perform," Grassley wrote.

"I urge you to reconsider the language in your signing statement and take steps to ensure that IGs are able to report effectively to Congress," he added.
