Last week was the first time DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari testified in front of Congress since Bad Watchdog was released. Lawmakers took it as a chance to hold him accountable for some of the decisions he’s made as inspector general, from his delayed notification to Congress about the missing Secret Service text messages to the sexual misconduct and harassment report his office never published. Investigative reporter Nick Schwellenbach joins Maren to recap the hearing, to break down an explosive admission by Cuffari, and to share updates about Nick’s latest investigations into Cuffari — and an upcoming season two of Bad Watchdog.
