“The IG reports to Congress not Whitehouse.”.....

“Supposed” to report to Congress, guess they missed that part in the job description.

The IG reports to Congress not Whitehouse.

The Inspector General is appointed by the President of the United States, with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate. Simply put, that means the President nominates an IG, and the Senate then either confirms or denies the appointment.
