Statement of Erika Kelton, whistleblower attorney with Phillips & Cohen
“The Department of Justice’s pilot whistleblower program, like most others, is proving to be highly effective at rooting out illegal conduct efficiently. The government’s return on investment for whistleblower programs has been extremely high. The new administration, with its cost-cutting priorities, should look to expand rather than shrink whistleblower programs.”
