On April 19, 2023, four inspectors general testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. The Trump administration has been accused of systematically dismantling independent oversight mechanisms within the federal government, particularly those that serve as checks on presidential authority. Although supporters of Trump defend these actions, claiming they improve government efficiency, critics argue that removing these watchdogs undermines accountability, potentially leading to unchecked power and corruption in federal agencies.
The Trump administration continues to fire, shut down or defund independent elements of the federal government that traditionally work as a check on presidential power.
Supporters of President Trump argue that these actions are intended to streamline government functions and eliminate perceived bureaucratic inefficiencies.
