Inspectors general are the peoples' watchdogs inside government, guarding against fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption by administration employees and officials. In a very real sense, IGs are our cops on the inside. Just days after being sworn in, Donald Trump fired a whole slew of IGs in violation of federal law. Now, some of the wrongfully terminated IGs are fighting back. As The Hill reported, "Eight Fired Government Watchdogs Sue Trump Administration." The federal law requires a president to give Congress 30 days advance notice before firing an inspector general. Trump gave Congress NO NOTICE, violating federal law. The law also requires a president to provide "substantive rationale, including detailed and case-specific reasons" for the termination. Trump failed to do so, in violation of federal law.
