Inspector Generals Sue to Get Their Jobs Back [1]

Another lawsuit challenging Trump’s law-breaking actions.

Eight former federal inspectors general who were fired from their independent watchdog roles are suing to regain their positions, marking the latest legal challenge to President Donald Trump's administration.

The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in a federal district court in Washington, DC, accused the administration of violating "unambiguous" federal laws designed to protect inspectors general from "interference" in their nonpartisan oversight duties.

One law, the Securing Inspector General Independence Act — passed in 2022 with bipartisan support — requires the president to give Congress advanced notice before removing an inspector general, and to provide a "substantive rationale, including detailed and case-specific reasons."
