It may be technically illegal, but according to the article he did the same thing during his first term. I don’t believe anything happened then in response so it’s unlikely anything will happen now.

“
Trump ousted five watchdogs in quick succession during his first term in 2020, starting with Michael Atkinson, the intelligence community inspector general who alerted Congress to the whistleblower complaint that led to Trump’s first impeachment. Trump had appointed Atkinson. The president also removed the State Department’s chief watchdog, who had begun investigating alleged misconduct by then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.”

He knows exactly what they do. He just doesn’t want anyone around to tell the public when he’s violating the law and constitution.

This is all part of Project 2025 which Trump claimed he didn’t know anything about. All of the feds are being replaced with Trump loyalists.

He likely doesn’t know what they do.

Let’s see how they spin this one. These IG’s protect the citizens from corrupt politicians. Who would want them gone other than a corrupt politician?

This is nuts. At least one of those fired (and likely more) was appointed by Trump himself.

Who doesn't want oversight?

People doing criminal shit.
