Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, wants to know why President Joe Biden has failed to appoint inspectors-general (IG) at the departments of Treasury and State, as well as the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
That three highly visible watchdog jobs remain unfilled in Biden’s third year in the Oval Office is a bipartisan issue, as Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) is raising the same concerns. Hassan chairs the Senate’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
