Pelosi Establishes New Office To Protect Whistleblower
Speaker Nancy Pelosi has created a new office to protect the Whistleblower, called the House of Representatives’ Office of the Whistleblower Ombudsman. The office was developed to determine the best practices for maintaining confidentiality of whistleblowers’ identities while receiving information from them.
In a press release on Saturday, Pelosi announced the new director, Shanna Devine, who has a history advocating for occupational rights at Public Citizen, a public interest group in Washington.
Devine’s “deep policy experience will be vital, as the first-ever Director of the Office of the Whistleblower Ombudsman, as she works to ensure that the House has the support and tools to carry out our legislative oversight responsibilities for the American people,” Pelosi said.
According to The Epoch Times, Nancy Pelosi’s office says the new office is intended to be independent and nonpartisan.
This appointment from the Speaker came about in result of Republican Senators pushing for more information on the Ukrainian whistleblower behind President Trump’s impeachment hearing. During the trial, presiding Justice John Roberts blocked a question from Rand Paul naming the alleged whistleblower. Senator Rand Paul later read the question mentioning the whistleblower’s name on the Senate floor, and Youtube struck down the video of it happening on it’s platform…
It’s “a chilling and disturbing day in America when giant web companies such as YouTube decide to censor speech,” Paul replied in a statement.
