- Government Accountability Project called for investigation of FEMA employee retaliation — The non-profit whistleblower and advocacy organization, Government Accountability Project, sent a letter to lawmakers and oversight agencies to call for investigations into the "illegal retaliation" by the Trump administration against more than 30 FEMA employees, who were suspended and put on paid leave after signing an open letter warning Congress about issues at the agency. The letter said the suspensions "blatantly violate the federal laws protecting whistleblowers" and asked lawmakers to reinstate the affected employees.
