Exclusive: Rep. August Pfluger introduces bill to prevent federal bureaucrats from undermining the next president
The STRAFE Act also includes a complaint reporting process outside of the traditional inspector generals channels and a requirement for a report that would quantify complaints and the status of actions.
“Career unelected bureaucrats cannot be allowed to undermine the agenda of any future President,” Pfluger told the Reporter. “We must ensure that the network of federal employees that brazenly carried out resistance activities under the first Trump Administration is not unleashed again.” His latest legislation comes at a critical juncture for both him and for the former president.
Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law, told the Reporter in an interview that Trump “doesn’t want to make the same [personnel] mistakes, and he probably would have done a lot of things differently the first time.”
Pfluger is running to take over the Republican Study Committee (RSC) next Congress.
