Janet Rehnquist leaving under a cloud.
Grassley and Montana Democratic Sen. Max Baucus asked the GAO to perform a management review of the inspector general's office in October after whistleblowers complained that Rehnquist had forced out a number of senior staff members.
One former staff member told CNN that Rehnquist "moved people and destroyed careers because she thought they were disloyal."
In a television interview in January, Rehnquist said she made the staff changes "for the good of the organization."
The GAO has also been investigating whether Rehnquist delayed an audit of Florida's pension fund at the request of Gov. Jeb Bush's office.
HHS documents show that the audit had been scheduled to begin in April 2002, but Rehnquist, after speaking with the governor's chief of staff, ordered it postponed. The audit did not begin until September 2002, which meant the results would not come out before Bush's re-election in November.
