#Trump fires at least 17 independent inspectors general in late-night purge

The dismissals could clear the way for Trump to install #loyalists in crucial roles of identifying #fraud, waste & #abuse in the #government.

The IGs were notified by emails from the WH personnel director that they had been terminated immediately….The dismissals appeared to violate federal #law, which requires #Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire the IGs.
