As usual, illegal and totally self-serving..cannot have the government finding out that the convicted felon is a crook
"Donald Trump fired 17 independent watchdogs at multiple US government agencies on Friday, a person with knowledge of the matter said, eliminating a critical oversight component and clearing the way for the president to replace them with loyalists.
The inspectors general at agencies including the departments of state, defense and transportation were notified by emails from the White House personnel director that they had been terminated immediately, the source said on condition of anonymity.
The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires the president to give both houses of Congress reasons for the dismissals 30 days in advance.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
An inspector general is an independent position that conducts audits and investigations into allegations of waste, fraud and abuse of power.
Agencies are pressing ahead with orders from Trump, who began his second presidency on Monday, to reshape the federal bureaucracy by scrapping diversity programs, rescinding job offers, and sidelining more than 150 national security and foreign policy officials.
