Trump Fires 12 Inspectors General in Late-Night Purge, Aiming to Install Loyalists
Jan 25, 2025, 04:23 AM
President Donald Trump has fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies in a late-night purge, according to reports from The Washington Post. The move is seen as potentially clearing the way for Trump to install loyalists in these crucial roles, which are responsible for identifying fraud, waste, and abuse within the government. The dismissals have raised concerns about undermining the system, as one of the fired inspectors general described the action as a 'widespread massacre'. Additionally, the dismissals appear to violate federal law, which mandates that Congress must receive 30 days' notice before any intent to fire the inspectors general.
