The Trump administration has dismissed approximately 17 independent inspectors general at various government agencies, an action viewed as a significant move against oversight functions necessary for accountability. The dismissals, which took effect immediately without the required 30-day advance notice to Congress, have drawn scrutiny from lawmakers, including Senator Chuck Grassley. He has called for clarification from President Trump regarding the reasons behind these firings. Trump's actions represent a broader initiative to reshape the federal agencies in alignment with his administration’s policy objectives.
"We need to know that if so, Sen. Chuck Grassley, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement. I'd like further explanation from President Trump."
"The 30 day detailed notice of removal that the law demands was not provided to Congress, said Grassley, R-Iowa."
