Trump Fires 17 Inspectors General in Friday Night Massacre [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-01-25

Trump has fired seventeen independent Inspectors General, flouting a law passed in 2022 that requires 30-days notice and explanation of the firing to be given to Congress, according to Reuters.

The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires the president to give both houses of Congress reasons for the dismissals 30 days in advance.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

An inspector general is an independent position that conducts audits and investigations into allegations of waste, fraud and abuse of power.
