Key Democrats Demand NASA Inspector’s Ouster:

A month after the White House surrendered sensitive information about NASA Inspector General Robert Cobb, three key Democrats have called on Cobb to resign.

Rep. Bart Gordon of Tennessee, chairman of the House Science Committee, was joined by Rep. Brad Miller of North Carolina, chairman of the investigations and oversight subcommittee, and Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida, who oversees the space program in the Senate, in a letter to the president calling for the resignation. The senior Democrats say information gleaned from the President’s Council on Integrity and Efficiency revealed a host of abuses by Cobb, including a cozy relationship with the very NASA officials he was charged with reviewing. Cobb is also accused of creating a hostile work environment.
