Judith Gwynn, the Inspector General for the International Trade Commission, has been told that her contract will not be renewed, making her the third IG in the Obama administration to draw controversy, according to a report by ABC News.

Gwynn’s release appears to be linked to an incident she recorded in her April 2009 Semiannual Report to Congress where she complained that “in the course of conducting an investigation regarding contractor activities, certain procurement files were removed forcibly from the possession of the Inspector General by a Commission employee.â€
