A nearly two-year investigation into allegations of misconduct by the Department of Homeland Security’s chief watchdog expanded this week to include his role in missing Secret Service text messages from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
On Monday, investigators demanded records related to the deleted texts from the Office of Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari, an appointee of President Donald Trump whose office shut down an inquiry into the Secret Service messages last year amid the House’s probe of the insurrection.
Cuffari has denied any improper conduct and argued that his efforts to improve what he describes as a dysfunctional office he inherited have been met with resistance from employees. that is devoted to fighting the “unconstitutional administrative state within our U.S. government,” according to its website.
Cuffari, confirmed by the Senate in July 2019, has faced questions from lawmakers and advocates since last summer over his agency’s handling of the missing text messages from the Jan. 6 attack.as part of a migration to new devices, Cuffari waited months to disclose to Congress that his office had discovered the deletions and did not press Homeland Security officials to explain why they did not preserve the records. The Secret Service later provided the House committee investigating the Jan.
The complaint alleges broadly that investigators from the office of Department of Transportation Inspector General Eric Soskin, which is conducting the probe,Advertisement Michael Bromwich, a former federal prosecutor who served as inspector general at the Justice Department from 1994 to 1999, predicted that “the lawsuit will likely fail” because “I do think the Court will not want to enmesh itself in the inner workings of the inspector general community.”was the subject of an investigation during his tenure, said that “there is no sound framework for investigating allegations against [inspectors general] themselves.
