WASHINGTON ( CNN ) -- The Director of National Intelligence is replacing the agency 's inspector general just days after the public release of a blistering report critical of the DNI 's office . DNI head Dennis Blair announced Friday Justice Department official Roslyn Mazer will replace Inspector General Edward McGuire as the DNI 's internal watchdog . The inspector general 's role is to examine the operations of the office and investigate any allegations of waste , fraud or misconduct . Earlier this week , Maguire testified before Congress about his report on the state of the DNI 's office , outlining rampant communication problems , continuing turf battles within the intelligence community and financial mismanagement . All of those problems were supposed to be addressed when the position of DNI was created by Congress in 2004 to look at the intelligence failures associated with the 9/11 terrorism attacks and the claims of Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction . The classified inspector general report was completed in November 2008 , but was not made public until this week . DNI spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said Maguire 's departure has nothing to do with his report . She claimed Blair , who assumed his position two months ago , wanted to bring his own leadership team . `` The director appreciates the efforts and work of the previous inspector general and will continue to build on some of the suggested reforms , '' Morigi said .
