Trump uses mass firing to remove independent inspector generals at series of US government agencies

^{Published on 2025-01-26 01:40:49 - MSN}

WASHINGTON: The Trump administration has fired about 17 independent inspector generals at government agencies, a sweeping action to remove oversight of his new administration that some members of Congress are suggesting violated federal oversight laws.

The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump, during his tenure, engaged in a series of mass firings to remove independent Inspectors General (IGs) from various U.S. government agencies. These actions were perceived as an attempt to undermine oversight and accountability within the federal government. Trump's dismissals included high-profile IGs like the Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, who had played a role in the whistleblower complaint that led to Trump's first impeachment. Critics argue that these moves were politically motivated, aimed at replacing independent watchdogs with individuals more loyal to Trump, thereby weakening the checks and balances system. This pattern of behavior raised concerns about the erosion of government transparency and the potential for increased corruption or mismanagement without the scrutiny of these independent auditors.
