Congressman Demands That Pentagon Investigate McKinsey’s Work in China

Representative Bob Gibbs (R., Ohio) is demanding that the Department of Defense stop awarding new contracts to McKinsey following reports last year revealing the powerhouse consultancy’s potential conflicts of interest.

In a letter sent on November 14 and obtained this week by National Review, Gibbs expressed concerns about McKinsey sharing “confidential client information across their teams internally” and called on the Pentagon’s acting inspector general Sean O’Donnell to probe the firm’s work and initiate an audit into its operations in China.
