Important coverage in @nytimes by @lukebroadwater on IGs under Trump. When IG independence is weakened, American taxpayers lose.

"This should raise red flags for every American taxpayer.” That’s what I told @lukebroadwater at @nytimes about FHFA Director Bill Pulte’s move to slash his agency’s IG budget.

A highly unusual and troubling move to slash the Federal Housing Finance Agency IG budget raises serious questions about the future of independent oversight. Here are my thoughts. #IG #Fraud #FHFA #Oversight #WithoutFearorFavor

I'm at my alma mater, @Columbia University, on a rainy morning for an important panel conversation with New York Inspector General @LucyLangNYC, Delaware’s newly installed Inspector General Rob Storch, and Will Fletcher who leads Association of IGs. #IGS #Oversight #Fraud

[Mark L. Greenblatt @MarkLGreenblatt]

Fraud is a serious problem; the administration deserves credit for making it a priority. The public also deserves to know what the efforts are finding and recovering, and clear accounting, independent scrutiny of the numbers. https://t.co/JFID5uwuGk

If you’re interested in learning about IGs and independent oversight, The George Washington University Trachtenberg School of Public Policy has posted the video of its recent symposium, along with a summary and analysis. https://t.co/KVQq4Yn6TX

Good to be at @AGA’s Internal Control & Fraud Prevention Training today in DC. I joined a panel on the new fraud challenges in the age of AI and why oversight practices must keep pace as the tools used to commit fraud change.

I’m encouraged a judge affirmed that Baltimore IG @isabel_cumming must have access to the records and systems necessary to do her job.  https://t.co/iZuPFYokmk

[Mark L. Greenblatt @MarkLGreenblatt]

An investigation by DOI's OIG seems consistent with how similar inquiries were handled during my tenure. But a political appointee inside an IG office inevitably raises questions on the independence of investigations.

Fraud in government is real, and the administration deserves credit for focusing on it. But claims about fraud prevention and recovered taxpayer dollars should be supported by transparent, verifiable data.

The legal fight over independent oversight in Baltimore continues. As I told @FOX45: “Let’s just open up the books, give the IG what she wants, be transparent and move this forward.”

My new column in @thehill: Congress is finally taking steps to address stock trading by lawmakers. But the legislation recently passed by the House misses the real problem: conflicts of interest.

[Mark L. Greenblatt @MarkLGreenblatt]

This warning from former DHS IG John Roth is exactly right: Congress should reject the latest attempt to weaken independent government oversight. Congress should protect the Council of Inspectors General, not dismantle it. https://t.co/KjzIJDAg5z
