The Trump administration rejected the findings of a Government Accountability Office report that concluded the appointments of the top two leadership roles at the Department of Homeland Security are invalid
The department called on the GAO to"immediately rescind" the report, saying its conclusions are"baseless and baffling."Last week, the GAO, which serves as a government watchdog for Congress, found that acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf and Senior Official Performing the Duties of Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli were appointed as a part of an invalid order of succession.
Lastly, she personally executed her order of succession when she swore in McAleenan as the acting secretary. The letter to the GAO includes a photo of Nielsen swearing-in McAleenan. Mizelle himself is serving in a vacant position since he became the department's top attorney in February.The GAO report referred the question over who should be serving as the acting secretary and the senior official performing the duties of deputy secretary to the DHS inspector general.
