  • Per an unnamed official in the White House, the firings were an attempt to get rid of parts of the Biden Administration that don't 'align' with the Trump Administration

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's decision to dismiss 18 inspectors general late in his term, which has raised significant legal and ethical concerns. This action was taken without the customary notification to Congress, which is typically required for such removals. The dismissals included inspectors general from various departments like Defense, Transportation, and Treasury, among others. Legal experts and some members of Congress argue that this move could undermine the independence of these oversight bodies, which are crucial for maintaining government accountability and transparency. Critics are particularly worried about the potential for abuse of power and the weakening of checks and balances within the government. The article also mentions that these actions have prompted discussions on Capitol Hill about reinforcing the legal protections for inspectors general to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
