President Trump has selected Dennis Kirk as his nominee for inspector general for the Interior Department. Kirk, a former adviser to Tulsi Gabbard, brings experience that aligns with the administration's upcoming policy shifts.

Kirk is notable for his involvement as a co-author of Project 2025, a comprehensive policy roadmap. His appointment to this oversight position means he would be responsible for reviewing Department of the Interior operations, including significant environmental and land management decisions.

This selection marks a strategic move for the administration, placing a key figure from the Project 2025 initiative into a role that oversees internal department conduct and regulatory reviews.
