This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Social Security Administration’s recently departed inspector general abused her authority and undermined the integrity of her office while under investigation for misconduct, a report from a committee of federal watchdogs found.
The report said she obstructed the probe by refusing to be interviewed, ordering subordinates and witnesses to limit access to information, and at times seeking to mislead investigators.
The report noted that the CIGIE panel that oversaw the investigation “carefully considered [Ennis’s] response and specifically found her arguments to be wholly without merit.”
In a letter sent on Saturday to the House and Senate committees that oversee Social Security, Ennis said she built a “more agile organization,” sought to tamp down scammers trying to steal money and personal information from retirees, and increased resources to fight disability fraud.
CIGIE’s report found that Ennis’s active resistance to its investigation included pressuring the group’s chairman with letters and phone calls to halt the probe.
After investigators for Horowitz concluded in March that the anti-fraud program had denied due process to claimants accused of fraud, Ennis inaccurately contended that the office of the health and human services inspector general followed similar practices, the report found.
