President Trump faced backlash for dismissing 18 inspectors general without proper notice, raising legal questions. Concurrently, Senate confirmation hearings are set for contentious cabinet nominees including Tulsi Gabbard for national intelligence and Kash Patel for FBI director. These hearings, coupled with ongoing GOP discussions at a retreat in Florida, reflect a charged political environment. Bipartisan efforts will also be seen in the Senate, as a bill sanctioning International Criminal Court officials will be voted on, underscoring bipartisan unity despite the ongoing scrutiny of Trump's actions and appointments.
