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.

    “Civilians working for the military. This includes contractors, employees of defense companies, and other civilians who are working for the military. Any of these individuals can find themselves subject to military law and in a military tribunal depending on the circumstances.”

    So yeah, minimum 5 years and max death still. But it would never happen
