DOJ watchdog would get more power to investigate its own staff
A new bill, called the "Inspector General Access Act of 2025," would give the Department of Justice's internal watchdog, the Inspector General, more power to investigate people who work there. It would remove certain rules that currently limit these investigations, meaning Department of Justice employees would be subject to broader scrutiny.
Currently, specific rules and exceptions limit the Department of Justice Inspector General's ability to investigate its own personnel. If this bill becomes law, these limitations and exceptions would be removed, giving the Inspector General broader authority to conduct investigations into Department of Justice employees.
