A new investigation reveals how a major federal agency has repeatedly ignored warnings about systemic failures in its oversight of critical infrastructure, despite multiple internal audits highlighting persistent risks. Whistleblowers and former officials describe a culture of retaliation against those who raise concerns, while documents obtained under public records laws show delays in addressing vulnerabilities that could pose national security threats. The findings raise questions about accountability within the agency and its ability to fulfill its core mission amid growing regulatory challenges. Critics argue the situation reflects broader trends of bureaucratic dysfunction in high-stakes sectors.
