Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Ranking Member Dick Durbin have sent a letter to President Trump, demanding a legal justification for his decision to fire 18 Inspectors General. The senators assert that Trump violated the Inspector General Act, which mandates a 30-day notice and detailed reasons for such actions. They emphasize the importance of transparency and accountability in maintaining public trust in these watchdog positions, crucial for preventing misconduct in federal agencies. Grassley and Durbin have requested immediate compliance and urged the swift nomination of competent, non-partisan replacements.
