WASHINGTON _ Nine of the government's top watchdog jobs _ the independent officials charged with handling whistleblower complaints and keeping an eye on unusual agency activity _ have not been filled by President Donald Trump.
Trump is supposed to nominate candidates to fill the top inspector general job at the Pentagon, Central Intelligence Agency, Environmental Protection Agency and departments of Health and Human Services, Treasury and Education, according to a congressional committee letter to the White House.
Those positions � which also include permanent IGs at the Office of Personnel Management, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission _ need Senate confirmation.
