The Justice Department’s announcement comes a week after Senator Sheehy sent a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General T. March Bell concerning a whistleblower complaint alleging misconduct by RML and Dr. Munster. In the letter, Senator Sheehy urged thorough oversight of RML’s safety, security, and personnel management practices, as well as NIH’s protocols for employees under investigation. | 1 | 2026-06-04T06:38:12Z | 2026-06-04T06:39:44Z |
