KPWH attorney Cathy Harris secured a hold on a proposed suspension of a federal whistleblower at the Department of Education. Our client had blown the whistle to the Washington Post regarding the Trump administration’s 2018 budget proposal. KPWH was assisted by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, which agreed to our request to the Department of Education that the suspension be placed on hold. The matter is now under review to determine if there has been whistleblower retaliation.
