We have been working for the last year on IC IG reform to establish the IC IG as a separate agency that is independent of the IC elements that it oversees.

"Additionally, during today’s Senate hearing, an important point was made to call out the flawed, ineffective IC Inspector General system that neither uncovers the truth nor protects whistleblowers. This has to end, which is why we have been working for the last year on IC IG reform to establish the IC IG as a separate agency that is independent of the IC elements that it oversees."

This is direct, recent evidence that Crawford is actively working on the promised IC IG reform and describes the intended endpoint as making the IC IG a separate, independent agency.

The Committee released two declassified transcripts from 2019 hearings with the former Intelligence Community Inspector General, Michael Atkinson, after a security review from ODNI; the Committee had voted in favor of releasing them on March 24, 2026.

This shows Crawford taking a concrete oversight action involving the IC IG, but it is related to transparency over historical transcripts rather than enactment of the promised structural reform.

"The final IAA includes critical counter-UAS authorities... and creates transparency in FBI counterintelligence investigations into a candidate for or holder of a federal office, we still have work to do. We aren’t done."

The intelligence authorization package included oversight-related transparency provisions, but the release does not show that IC IG reform was enacted or completed.
