BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

“Over the course of the Committee’s investigation, which included depositions, staff-level meetings, transcribed interviews, and document review, it became clear that much of the senior leadership of the DOC OIG – including Acting Inspector General Roderick Anderson – was entangled in the allegations that had been brought to the Committee’s attention.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Given the Committee’s preliminary investigatory findings, we do not believe that any senior official within the Department of Commerce OIG is able to lead the office. Therefore, to ensure the DOC OIG can fulfill its statutory mission until the nomination and confirmation of a permanent Inspector General, we request that you designate an Acting Inspector General who is not currently serving within the DOC OIG.”
