In April and May 2020, United States President Donald Trump dismissed the inspectors general (IGs) of five cabinet departments in the space of six weeks.[1][2] The inspectors general removed were Michael K. Atkinson, Intelligence, on April 3; Glenn Fine (acting), Defense, April 7; Christi Grimm (acting), Health and Human Services, May 1; Mitch Behm (acting), Transportation, May 15; and Steve Linick, State, May 15.[3][b] In four of the cases the announcement was made late on a Friday night in a classic Friday news dump.[/b][citation needed] In several cases the fired IGs had taken an action which Trump disliked, so that the dismissals were widely described as retaliation.[4] In two other cases, questions were raised about whether the dismissals related to ongoing IG investigations into the conduct of the cabinet secretary in charge of that department.[5][6] The cumulative firings were often described as a "purge"[7] or as a "war on watchdogs".[8][9][/quote]
