The violent invasion of our Capitol building on January 6, 2021 could not have succeeded without the assistance of Trump appointees at DoD, DHS, and the Secret Service. And now, as the January 6th Special Committee investigation extends to the cover-up of the coup plotting, we’ve learned that two Trump-appointed Inspectors General were central to that effort: DHS IG Cuffari and DoD’s Acting IG O’Donnell. There was reason enough to replace both of them in February 2021, and more than enough to do it now. We ask you to immediately appoint new Acting IGs for DoD and DHS, while working with the Senate to confirm permanent appointees with professional integrity and no political agenda.
