President Donald Trump has nominated a long-time loyalist to lead the Interior Department’s inspector general’s office, the body set to investigate the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool disaster.
Dennis Kirk is one of the authors of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 manifesto, the blueprint for Trump’s second term that recommended expanding executive power and removing uncooperative civil servants and federal agencies to advance conservative ambitions. He was nominated Friday, according to reports in The Washington Post and The Hill.
