Democratic Senators Ask Watchdogs to Investigate Musk’s Downsizing Efforts
Top Senate Democrats on Friday asked the internal watchdogs of more than a dozen government agencies to investigate job cuts carried out at the direction of Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency operation.
The request was made in a letter signed by 15 Democratic senators and one independent who serve on government oversight committees. The senators asked the watchdogs, known as inspectors general, to look at future job cuts as well.
Government human resources officials are currently contending with court orders to reinstate about 20,000 probationary employees who were fired in February. A pair of federal judges ruled this month that those firings were illegal, done at the direction of the Office of Personnel Management and members of Mr. Musk’s operation — neither of which have the authority to order personnel changes.
In addition, agencies are making plans for another round of massive cuts in order to shrink the size of government, per the instructions of President Trump and Mr. Musk, who is serving as a top adviser in the government-gutting effort.

You don't have to worry about independent investigations in to the actions of those in the regime if the IG's are gone or in the tank. Which is why Don sought to remove so many of them. Just as he did during trump 1.0.
