5/5: Unfortunately, this mirrors exactly what happened with the Acting IG at the Department of Education: same situation, different day.

Independent oversight isn’t partisan. It’s patriotic.

4/5: Allen’s termination reportedly followed his efforts to provide constitutionally required information to prosecutors and his planned letter to Congress notifying lawmakers that the agency was not cooperating with his office.

3/5: According to Reuters, on November 3, 2025, the White House removed Joe Allen, who had been serving as Acting Inspector General of the Federal Housing Finance Agency since April 2025.

2/5: IGs share a mission with agency leadership of making the agency work as well as possible for the American public. Removing them when they do that is anathema to a healthy, functioning government.

1/5: The removal of yet another acting inspector for the apparent crime of doing their job is a real problem for this country. ALL American taxpayers — including President Trump’s most ardent supporters — should want independent oversight in our government.
