Harry's track record for jumping to conclusion isn't exactly clear; there's no way he trusts the ministry.

Like I said, there's no way Harry trusts the ministry. Also, what proof do they have? Well she said she did! So did Lockhart. Also, if they told Fudge; he would have covered it up. He may have covered up anything to do with her before Scrimgeour became Minister. Or she might have covered it up. I imagine that even after the fiasco at Hogwarts, Umbridge might still have enough power to make an inquiry or two disappear.
