Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff criticized President Trump's recent firing of 18 inspectors general, stating that it was a clear violation of the law. The President is required to give Congress a 30-day notice before terminating individuals serving in the independent watchdog role. Inspectors general play a crucial role in identifying and reporting fraud and mismanagement within government agencies.
During an interview on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' Schiff expressed concern that without effective and independent inspectors general, there could be a resurgence of corruption, waste, and fraud in government operations.
