MSNBC: Trump Fires Several Inspectors General Across Agencies

RUSH EXCERPT:

ALCINDOR: "Senior White House official confirms to NBC News that at least 12 inspector generals were fired on Friday. These are, of course, watchdogs that are supposed to be looking out for waste and fraud in federal agencies. Now, I talked to a White House official today who told me that these firings are because the Trump Administration wants to get rid of anyone who doesn’t align with the Trump Administration and wants to get rid of any of the Biden Administration officials who they just don’t see as fitting in their administration. Now, there is this issue of legality, because the legal justification here is murky. There was a law that was amended in 2022 that says that the White House is supposed to give Congress 30 days notice before firing an ag, and gives substantial reasons for doing so.”
