WASHINGTON — NASA’s beleaguered inspector general, Robert “Moose” Cobb, has resigned.
Three U.S. senators two weeks ago urged President Barack Obama to oust Cobb, saying he has been repeatedly accused of stifling investigations and retaliating against whistle-blowers. A federal audit this year found that Cobb saved taxpayers only 36 cents for every dollar he spent on investigations. The average for other inspectors general was $9.49.
Cobb was appointed to the job in 2002 by President George W. Bush.
