U.S. President Donald Trump's late-night firing of inspectors general at multiple government agencies was criticized as illegal on Saturday by Democrats and others and drew concern from at least one fellow Republican.
The article discusses the controversy surrounding former President Donald Trump's decision to fire several independent watchdog officials during his tenure. These officials, known as Inspectors General, are tasked with overseeing government agencies to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse. Trump's actions were criticized by Democrats and some Republicans for undermining the independence of these oversight roles, which are intended to act as checks on executive power. Critics argue that these firings were retaliatory, aimed at those who had either investigated or were likely to investigate Trump administration officials or policies. The firings included notable figures like State Department Inspector General Steve Linick, who was probing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's use of taxpayer funds. The moves were seen as an attempt to shield the administration from scrutiny, raising concerns about transparency and accountability in government.
