There is a federal law (enacted as a result of Trump’s first term) that Congress must be given 30 days notice before an inspector general can be fired. Laws be damned. Trump and his team fired at least 12 inspectors general over the weekend. These jobs at federal agencies came about after Watergate and were meant to eliminate fraud, waste and abuse in the government. Inspectors General hold agencies to account and help keep everything on up and up. Democrats like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer warn that this IG firing is Donald Trump’s way of showing he’s terrified of accountability.
We’ll check in with iHeart TV and radio political analyst Gary Dietrich to get his take.
We welcome Heidi Cuda to the show. She’s the host of the “Radicalized Truth Survives” podcast and an Investigative Reporter at the ‘Bette Dangerous' Substack.
