Eight inspectors general whom Donald Trump fired from their federal agency watchdog posts are suing for their jobs back, adding to the legal scrutiny over the president’s first weeks of decisions in the White House and raising questions about his political intentions.
They argue that Trump should not have been able to dismiss them in late January without first notifying Congress. They also claim that the White House disregarded regulations surrounding their removals that were designed to shield them from political interference and retaliation.
