Trump Uses Mass Firing to Remove Independent Inspectors General at Various Agencies
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has fired about 17 independent inspectors general at government agencies, a sweeping action to remove oversight of his new administration that some members of Congress are suggesting violated federal oversight laws.
Federal law requires the White House to give Congress a full month of warning and case-specific details before firing a federal inspector general.
The conversations about ousting these government watchdogs began during Trump's transition back to the White House.
It’s not immediately clear whether the firings are legal, as the Trump administration is required to give a 30-day notice.
