EPA’s former internal watchdog, who was axed as part of President Donald Trump’s firing spree of inspectors general, has landed at a top ally of the administration.
Sean O’Donnell has joined the litigation team for Judicial Watch, the conservative legal watchdog group announced Tuesday. He served for five years as EPA inspector general, which also included a stint as acting IG at the Pentagon, and was a Justice Department trial attorney and prosecutor as well.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement that they were “happy to have” O’Donnell join their team.
“His tremendous experience at the Justice Department and as inspector general for both the EPA and the Defense Department is a perfect fit for Judicial Watch and should make corrupt government officials nervous,” Fitton said.
