According to Trump administration, President Donald Trump has opened a declaration of a dozen federal institutions in purge on Friday night and has opened its own way to independent surveillance.
According to stakeholders who are familiar with the situation, the officer of the agency receives e -mails from Sergio Gol, the director of the White House Human Resources Office late on Friday, and that their jobs are immediately “terminated” due to “change in priority”. I noticed. The confusion has influenced the wide range of federal governments, including the Ministry of State, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Transport.
In the first term of President Trump, the administration of independent government surveillance, regarded as dishonesty, was lost. The IG conducts potential fraud, fraud, waste, and abuse survey and audit by government agencies, and issues reports and recommendations on the results. Inspectors’ offices are intended to be operated independently.
With the response of President Trump’s previous IG dismissal, Congress has built a new guardrail aimed at protecting them. The 2022 law obliges the White House to provide a substantial basis for dismissal of the Inspector.
This dismissal causes some of the Republican Senate, including the Senate Chuck Glassy Senate (Iowa), known as the “dog” of IG, and is required by the Federal Law. He said that the notification was not given to Congress.
President Trump told reporters on the airforce one, “I did it because it was very common,” and not everyone was removed. He did not show evidence, but said, “I don’t know them, but some people thought that some people were unfair or did not fulfill their duties, which is very standard. is.”
According to a report by the Parliamentary Research Bureau, “President Ronald Reagan dismissed all of the Inspector during the controversial measures after taking office in 1981,” it is not customary to dismiss the Secretary during the transition period of the president. ”
“Since 1981, IG has stayed in its position every time the president has shifted,” said the report.
The first report of the Trump administration was the Washington Post.
The chairman of the Inspection General Council on integrity and efficiency said on Saturday that the law on the dismissal of the inspector should be compliant.
“IG is not to be affected by the removal, but we must follow the law to protect the government’s independent surveillance against the United States,” he said. “Mike” Wear said.
Mr. Wear emphasized the IG’s independence, while explaining the role of IG in detail. He said, “The federal IG is working every day to fight with government agencies, wastes, fraud, and fraud on behalf of US taxpayers.”
Republican Senator, including the General Affairs House of Party in South Dakota, said that no warning or explanation was given to the White House’s decision.
“I haven’t done it yet, so it’s better to refrain from comments. I’m sure it will do,” said CNN.
Other Republican Republicans have expressed concerns about the lack of notification and the extensive nature of dismissal.
“When the new President is appointed,” Senator Lisa Marcausky, Alaska Senator Lisa Marcausky, said, “I understand that there is relatively unprecedented notification,” said the new president. I understand why IG and their roles are criticized. ” They have been active in various institutions, but I think they have been concerned that they were immediately fired. ”
Marcausky, who was asked to provide more information from the White House, said that Glasley would “help you overcome this problem.”
“There may be a legitimate reason for the dismissal of IG,” Glasley stated in a statement provided by the office on Saturday. “If so, we need to know it. We ask President Trump for further explanations, and nevertheless, no detailed deletion notification within 30 days required by the law was submitted to the Congress.”
Senator Susan Collins also stated that he was concerned about the dismissal of this dismissal and argued that the act of supervising the supervision did not meet the goal of President Trump’s eradication of corruption.
“I don’t understand why we are fired from waste, fraud, and abuse, so we will leave a gap that I know that this is a priority for President Trump.” The Republican member of the main state told the reporters.
Senator Mike Laons said that the president should have the opportunity to explain his decision. “To be honest, it’s just a guess at the moment what it really means. So I wait and see what it means in that other people intervene. Did you just have that information?
“I heard a little this morning. There is no doubt that it will be discussed here, but I do not know what logic he did, and I do not know the reasoning. We are to him. I will give you the opportunity to explain it, “said South Dakota Republican members.
The Democratic Party has blamed the dismissal intensely, and the Senate’s Semiatrous Party’s General Affairs Interior General General Affairs, Chuck Shumer, called this movement “Purge of Hair of the Body”, and this dismissal began in the “abuse in the government, and the golden era of corruption.” He warned that there is a possibility.
