The Trump administration fired at least 12 federal guards late on Friday evening, which is likely to be an illegal measure to face court problems.
Chuck Schumer, Senate Senate Sosu Party, described the dismissal of the monitoring team as “creepy purge.”
Schumer, a Democratic Party member from New York, said, “This is a way of informing us that Donald Trump is afraid of responsibility and hostile to facts and transparency.”
The White House did not confirm the dismissal and did not respond to the BBC’s request for comment.
According to the BBC’s US partner, CBS News, the influenced inspectors received an e -mail from the president of the President’s Human Resources Bureau on Friday night.
The dismissed monitoring team includes the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the SME inspector, the CBS said.
According to New York Times, there is a list of competitions for the fired watching dogs. It is known that both agricultural, commerce, defense, education, housing and urban development, interiors, labor, traffic, and the Ministry of Veterans’ Department are considered.
It is unclear who the Trump administration will choose to fill the new vacancy.
The Congress found the inspector after the Watergate scandal as part of the reform wave to curb corruption, waste and fraud. Independent monitor who works in the federal agency but does not under control by the head of the agency plays a role in preventing incorrect management and abuse of power.
They are presidential names, but they are expected to be shaman.
The dismissal may be a violation of the law that the White House notifies the Congress 30 days before the federal inspector is dismissed and provides information by case.
Hannibal Ware, an inspector of the Small and Medium Business Administration and Chairman of the Surveillance Council of various institutions, sent a letter to Sergio Gor, the head of the White House Human Resources Division.
Ware wrote, “I recommend you to contact the White House for your intended action policy.” “At this point, we do not think that we are legally sufficient to dismiss the inspector that was appointed by the president and approved by the Senate.”
In a separate statement published on Saturday afternoon, Ware wrote that dismissal, which is contrary to the law, is a serious threat to the independence of the inspector.
He wrote, “IG (supervisor) is not exempt from removal.” “But to protect the independent government supervision of the United States, you must follow the law.”
The Democratic Party immediately criticized the president’s movement.
Schumer said the action is a “illegal approach trailer” taken by President Trump and his administration.
Gerry Connolly, a Virginian Democratic Party and a member of the House of Representatives, called the shooting case as “coup of Friday night” and “attack on transparency and responsibility.”
He and 20 other Democrats wrote a letter to President Trump to express “serious concerns” of dismissal and urged them to review.
“Your actions violate the law, attack our democracy and attack our democracy, and the safety of the American people It is damaged. ”
Some Republican lawmakers, including Chuck Graveli (Iowa) Senator and Susan Collins (Main) Senator, also expressed concern about purge.
Collins said in a Saturday Parliamentary House, “I can’t understand the reason for dismissing an individual who is in charge of wasting waste, fraud and abuse.” “I don’t understand.”
