GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley Says Trump Isn't Following The Law
www.huffpost.com
The Iowa Republican said the president needs to notify Congress before firing watchdogs in charge of rooting out waste, fraud and corruption.

Summary

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) criticized Donald Trump for illegally firing inspectors general without giving Congress 30 days’ notice.

Trump recently dismissed the USAID inspector general after a report exposed the administration’s mismanagement of foreign aid, putting $489 million in food assistance at risk.

Grassley, a longtime watchdog advocate, said Trump could still remove officials legally by placing them on administrative leave.

      If only there was some sort of indication he doesn’t follow the law, like previous impeachments, actual court convictions and decades of being a real estate developer.

        If only there were. For now, we’ll just have to let Donald “I’m a convicted felon” Trump do whatever he wants.
