Two senior officials at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), both of whom led the investigation into the 2019 'Sharpiegate' scandal, have been placed on administrative leave. The timing comes just days before the Senate is set to consider the confirmation of Neil Jacobs, a Trump nominee, to lead NOAA. The 'Sharpiegate' incident involved President Trump altering a hurricane forecast map, leading to controversy and internal investigations at NOAA. The suspension of these officials has raised concerns about political interference and the independence of federal scientific agencies. The move is seen by some as a potential retaliation or an attempt to influence NOAA's leadership ahead of the Senate vote.
