[7] On March 8, 2018, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced that President Donald Trump intended to nominate Schultz for the position of Commandant of the United States Coast Guard, succeeding Admiral Paul F.[10] In June of 2018, the House of Representatives launched an 18-month investigation into the culture of the Coast Guard, stemming from whistleblowers who alleged sexual assault, racism, bullying, and retaliation.On December 12, 2019, in an unprecedented move, Schultz refused to appear before Congress at the Righting The Ship hearing to answer questions about the culture of abuse and cover up.Several media outlets and members of Congress in the House and Senate communicated their frustration about the culture of the Coast Guard set by leaders at the top.As the Commandant of the Coast Guard during the finalization of [Operation Fouled Anchor], the Committee is interested in learning more about what actions you took to notify Congress or conceal misconduct.
