On March 7th, the DOJ announced that it would be launching a 90-day sprint to start its own whistleblower rewards program. The Department provided more information in its follow-up speech on March 8th. However, it has still given very little information about what features the program will include, and leaders in the whistleblower and anti-corruption community have some major concerns.
Stephen Kohn, Chairman of the Board of the National Whistleblower Center, sent a letter to the DOJ, wrote an op-ed in Bloomberg, and spoke on Federal News Network to discuss concerns and explain the most important best-practices that should be implemented in the new program.
