US EditionWhistleblowers Shun Office that’s Supposed to Protect Them Amid Fears of Trump Partisanship
- Following the recent appointment of Paul Ingrassia by President Trump to head the Office of Special Counsel, whistleblowers have increasingly chosen to bypass the agency.
- This avoidance follows concerns that Ingrassia, a 30-year-old self-described MAGA loyalist, might repurpose the historically nonpartisan agency into a political tool advancing the administration's agenda.
- Lawyers such as Tom Devine report that clients fear reporting misconduct to the agency due to Trump loyalists' influence, causing whistleblowers to seek Congress, the press, or inspectors general instead.
- Devine explained that the OSC has traditionally been the primary resource for whistleblowers seeking assistance, though critics such as David Kligerman argue that Ingrassia is clearly unqualified due to his limited experience.
- If Ingrassia is confirmed by the Senate, insiders warn the agency's mission will reverse, potentially deterring whistleblowers and undermining government accountability.
