Inspector General Access Act of 2025

This bill changes federal law on the powers of the Inspector General of the Department of Justice. It removes a provision that currently sends certain misconduct allegations against Justice Department attorneys, investigators, and law enforcement staff, those tied to an attorney's authority to investigate, litigate, or give legal advice, to a separate office (the Office of Professional Responsibility) instead of the Inspector General. As a result, the Inspector General could investigate those allegations. The bill also removes an exception so that Justice Department offices would report these types of allegations to the Inspector General along with other misconduct allegations.
