  • U.S. President Donald Trump fired 17 independent watchdogs at multiple government agencies on Friday, a person with knowledge of the matter said, eliminating a critical oversight component and clearing the way to replace them with loyalists.

The article from MSN discusses a significant move by former President Donald Trump, where he reportedly fired 17 independent Inspectors General (IGs) at various federal agencies. This action, as per the source cited in the article, was part of a broader pattern of Trump's administration targeting IGs, who are responsible for overseeing and investigating potential misconduct and inefficiency within government operations. The dismissals raised concerns about the erosion of oversight and accountability in the federal government, with critics arguing that these moves were intended to undermine checks and balances. The firings occurred amidst Trump's term, highlighting tensions between the executive branch and these independent watchdogs, which are meant to operate free from political influence to ensure transparency and integrity in government functions.
