President Trump on Friday
ousted several inspectors general within government agencies overnight, shaking up
federal oversight just days after returning to the White House, an administration official confirmed to NewsNation.
Trump fired around 17 watchdogs at various agencies within the Defense Department, State Department, Energy Department, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and others. Those within the Pentagon, State Department and Transportation Department were notified of the termination over email,
according to the Washington Post, which was the first to report on the firings.
A spokesperson from HUD confirmed to The Hill that Inspector General Rae Oliver Davis received notice Friday that her position was terminated.
The ouster of the independent inspectors may be in violation of the federal law as the president is required to give a 30-day notice to Congress of his intent, The Post noted.
“It’s a widespread massacre,” one of the fired inspectors told The Post. “Whoever Trump puts in now will be viewed as loyalists, and that undermines the entire system.”
