The Department of Justice Office of Inspector General's decision to launch an audit of compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act is an important and necessary step. www.markleegreenblatt.com/statements/d... #Accountability #Oversight #Transparency #WithoutFearOrFavor #DOJ #EpsteinFiles

Gov. Meyer made a strong choice nominating Robert Storch as Delaware’s first IG. He intelligent, experienced, and a person of unwavering integrity. The people of Delaware are fortunate to have someone of his caliber. www.coasttv.com/news/meyer-n... #Oversight #Delaware #IG

While I have been critical of the administration's handing of IG matters, today's nomination of Don Berthiaume to serve as DOJ IG is a positive development. My previous statement when Don was named Acting DOJ IG last year: www.markleegreenblatt.com/statements/b... #IG #Oversight #Accountability

Here's my new statement on the resignation of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer. The DOL IG investigation into serious misconduct allegations must continue. www.markleegreenblatt.com/statements/d... #WithoutFearorFavor #Accountability #Oversight #GoodGovernment #DOL

I'm quoted in @govexec.bsky.social on proposed funding cuts to IGs in the FY27 budget. When you cut IGs, you don’t reduce spending. You reduce accountability, and that's when problems get expensive. www.govexec.com/oversight/20... #IGs #Oversight #Budget #Congress @seanthenewsboy.bsky.social

Should Maryland create a statewide Inspector General? In this video, I break down why fragmented oversight puts taxpayer dollars at risk, what a stronger, independent watchdog could do to stop fraud before it starts. youtu.be/2cefsEUYKKU #Accountability #Fraud #Maryland #IG

In my new @washingtonpost.com column, I argue that Maryland lawmakers and the governor should learn from Minnesota's massive fraud scandal and establish at statewide inspector general. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... #FraudPrevention #Maryland #IGs

Oversight works only when it’s independent. With Cheryl Mason now leading the Council of IGs, there are questions about whether independence will be protected. I hope Mason reinforces independence and keeps oversight free from political influence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Flpa... #InspectorsGeneral

Opinion: Junior lawyers looking to move up in their careers should use a few strategies to set themselves apart: Help solve others' problems, differentiate themselves, and be social while staying professional.

In my new @bloomberglaw.com column, I lay out three practical ways young lawyers can set themselves apart early in their careers. It’s not just about credentials; it’s about how you show up. news.bloomberglaw.com/legal-exchan... #Leadership #CareerAdvice #LegalCareers #Lawyers

I'm quoted in this piece by @govexec.bsky.social @seanthenewsboy.bsky.social on a significant development for federal oversight. I weighed in that placing a former political appointee in this role runs the risk of subverting independence in favor of partisanship. www.govexec.com/oversight/20...

I’m incredibly proud of my sons. It started with a simple question from my then 8-year-old: What do people in need actually need most? What means the most to me isn’t just the impact—it's the empathy and passing the reins to his younger brother. www.wusa9.com/article/life...

I’m encouraged to see Minnesota moving closer to establishing an independent Inspector General. Strong oversight is one of the most effective tools we have to detect and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/vi... #IG #Minnesota #Ethics #WithoutFearorFavor

I'm quoted in new @washingtonpost.com reporting raising serious concerns about independent oversight. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... #WithoutFearorFavor #InspectorGeneral #Oversight #Accountability @merylkornfield.bsky.social

I'm quoted in @thehill.com on tensions between DHS leadership and its IG. These developments underscore a deep concern: ongoing pressure placed on IGs and the risks that poses to their independence. thehill.com/homenews/adm... #WithoutFearorFavor #DHS #InspectorsGeneral #Transparency

A new report from the consumer advocacy group @publiccitizen.bsky.social highlights a deeply troubling trend: the erosion of independent oversight inside the federal government. The report is worth reading: www.citizen.org/article/undo... #InspectorGeneral #Oversight #Accountability #Ethics

Deeply troubling @propublica.org reporting about financial conflicts among Trump officials. This isn't a partisan issue. Officials in both D and R administrations have faced scrutiny over conflicts of interest. www.propublica.org/article/trum... #Accountability #Ethics #ConflictOfInterest

Here is my statement regarding allegations that the Department of Homeland Security has obstructed the work of its Inspector General. I hope you will read it and let me know your thoughts. www.markleegreenblatt.com/statements/d... #DHS #IG #Congress #WithoutFearorFavor #GovernmentAccountability

My new @thedailybeast.bsky.social column on a serious threat to government accountability. The Labor Department is facing multiple allegations of misconduct, but the IG is a political ally, personal acquaintance of those involved. www.thedailybeast.com/is-the-white... #DOL #IG #InspectorsGeneral

I shared my views with @politico.com about how the partial government shutdown is throwing oversight at the Department of Homeland Security into peril and could jeopardize several ongoing key investigations. www.politico.com/news/2026/02... #IG #DHS #investigations #WithoutFearorFavor

My new @MSNOWNews column on why Congress should establish a bipartisan, independent commission on the Minnesota shootings to get to the truth and restore trust in our institutions: www.ms.now/opinion/rene... #InspectorGeneral #DHS #ICE #Congress #Democracy #WithoutFearorFavor

There’s much troubling news, but one move by DHS stopped me in my tracks. Threats to shut down audits & investigations by its IG are a shot across the bow to inspector general independence. youtu.be/-Opug8MWQxg #InspectorGeneral #Oversight #DHS #RuleOfLaw #WithoutFearorFavor

My new statement: The Dept. of Homeland Security’s threats to shut down audits & investigations by its Office of Inspector General are a shot across the bow to inspector general independence. www.markleegreenblatt.com/statements/d... #IG #Oversight #Accountability #RuleOfLaw #DHS #ICE

My new statement on the NSA whistleblower matter conveys my respect for former Acting Intelligence Community IG Johnson. But, I have concerns about developments within the Intelligence Community IG Office of Inspector General. www.markleegreenblatt.com/statements/n... #NSA #Whistleblower #IG

Yesterday I joined a thoughtful panel on @ms.now to discuss #Minneapolis. My view: Congress should establish a bipartisan, independent investigative commission outside DHS to examine these shootings. www.ms.now/katy-tur/wat... #PublicTrust #Transparency #Minnesota #WithoutFearorFavor #Congress

I will be on @ms.now Katy Tur Reports at the 3 PM hour discussing the tragic Minnesota shootings and the need for a nonpartisan, independent investigation. Tune in if you're near a screen.

You're invited to join this webinar today at 10 AM (rescheduled from last week). register.gotowebinar.com/register/244... I'm looking forward to discussing pressures we are seeing on long-standing ethical norms in the federal government. #webinar #ethics #feds #accountability

I’m quoted in this @nytimes.com article on Minnesota fraud claims. I welcome the president's focus on rooting out fraud, but this administration has taken steps that seem to fly in the face of that goal. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/u... #Fraud #InspectorsGeneral #Minnesota @tonyromm.bsky.social

I’m in NYC this week, and I left DC amid a government shutdown over ICE and DHS funding. At the heart of this moment is a growing deficit of trust between the American people and government. youtube.com/shorts/Zts5G... #Minnesota #Accountability #GovernmentShutDown

In this @nextgovernment.bsky.social article, I share my concerns that fraud is a serious issue that deserves credible investigation. But broad fraud accusations must be backed by independent oversight or they can do more harm than good. www.nextgov.com/policy/2026/... #InspectorsGeneral #Fraud

Honored this week to speak at the New York State IG's Anniversary/America's 250 event celebrating the role of inspectors general in our democracy. Here's a follow-up @timesunion.com interview with Lucy Lang. www.timesunion.com/capitol/arti... #IGS #Americas250 #OIG40 #NewYork

In my new @thedailybeast.bsky.social column, I call on Congress to immediately establish a special bipartisan investigative commission outside of DHS and its traditional oversight chains to examine the Minneapolis shootings. thedailybeast.com/how-congress... #Minnesota #Accountability #RuleOfLaw

I’m heading to Albany to speak at an event marking the 40th anniversary of the NY Inspector General, but wanted to share my thoughts on #Minnesota. When facts are contested & trust is fragile, the public needs independent, nonpolitical investigations they can believe in. youtu.be/Y3HxfzifffE?...

Minnesota underscores the importance of public trust in government oversight. One year ago, I was one of 17 IGs fired without cause, a blow to independent watchdogs. This video explains why independent oversight matters more than ever. youtu.be/WF6ZZGW-D2s #InspectorsGeneral #Minneapolis #ICE #DHS

One year after the Friday Night Massacre, government oversight remains under assault. My new @newsweek.com column revisits the unprecedented firing of 17 IGs & the consequences. www.newsweek.com/is-governmen... #Accountability #InspectorsGeneral #RuleOfLaw #FridayNightMassacre

Ethics and accountability in government are under strain. Join me for a webinar on this topic next week, “Ethics Under Pressure: Project 2025 and Public Integrity,” with the American Society for Public Administration. When: Jan. 27 at 1 PM ET Register: lnkd.in/ehRYWi-v #Webinar #Ethics #IG

As a former IG, I support legislation by @repritchie.bsky.social to crack down on insider trading in prediction markets. Public service shouldn't be a path to private profit and government policy shouldn't be distorted by private gain. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... #InsiderTrading #Congress

In this new @govexec.bsky.social article, I share my deep concerns about the future of independent government oversight. www.govexec.com/oversight/20... #Governance #Oversight #InspectorsGeneral #Accountability #IGS #Fraud #WithoutFearorFavor @seanthenewsboy.bsky.social

Last week, the Senate confirmed five Trump Inspectors General nominees. Some should have been an opportunity to reaffirm Congress’s commitment to independent oversight. Instead, the confirmations mark a troubling step backward. My statement: www.markleegreenblatt.com/statements/i... #IGs #HHS #DOL

I appreciate @apnews.com shining a light on congressional oversight and whistleblower protections — and for including my perspective. Strong oversight and protecting whistleblowers are not partisan issues. They are essential guardrails. #IGs #Oversight #Whistleblowers apnews.com/article/gras...

I participated in a @thedailybeast.bsky.social YouTube Live last week on the Signalgate IG report. The report is troubling & heartening: it reveals a leadership failure but government oversight is functioning. www.youtube.com/watch?v=681w... #Signalgate #PeteHegseth #WithOutFearorFavor #DOD #IG

ICYMI, I was on @cnn.com this morning discussing the Signalgate IG report. I explain why I thought the report was both troubling and heartening. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygcg... #Signalgate #IG #InspectorsGeneral #DOD #Accountability #Oversight #WithoutFearOrFavor

I will be on CNN during the 9:30 hour discussing the Signalgate IG report. Tune in if you're near a screen. #Signalgate #IGs

As someone who spent decades investigating misconduct and safeguarding the integrity of government operations, I find the Signalgate report troubling and heartening. Here is my full statement: www.markleegreenblatt.com/statements/s... #Signalgate #IG #InspectorGeneral #OIG #DOD #PeteHegseth

In my new @dailybeast.bsky.social column on the forthcoming Signalgate DOD IG report, I offer some takeaways. For example, he apparently refused to sit for an interview, which is highly unusual and problematic. www.thedailybeast.com/revelations-... #Signalgate #PeteHegseth #DOD #IG

In this @yahoofinance.com article on Congressional stock trading, I shared my view that pre-disclosing stock trades isn’t real reform. What’ needed: a ban on individual stock trading by lawmakers. finance.yahoo.com/news/congres... #Congress #Ethics #StockTrading

I’m encouraged OMB has reversed on CIGIE funding and applaud Senators Grassley and Collins for their efforts to restore funding. My thoughts here: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... #OMB #InspectorsGeneral @washingtonpost.com @merylkornfield.bsky.social @hannahnatanson.bsky.social

In @thehill.com, I explain why the Senate must reject Bell’s nomination for HHS Inspector General. He pledged to support the President’s agenda: shocking & disqualifying. IGs must be INDEPENDENT watchdogs, not lapdogs. #InspectorGeneral #IG #HHS #Trump thehill.com/opinion/cong...
