President Donald Trump fired more than a dozen government watchdogs late Friday in a move that appears to have violated federal law requiring him to notify Congress.

The Trump administration has fired more than a dozen independent inspectors general at government agencies, a sweeping action to remove oversight of his new administration that some members of Congress are suggesting violated federal oversight laws.

President Trump has reportedly fired at least a dozen inspectors general, according to the Washington Post and the New York Times. The dismissals appear to violate federal law because the inspectors general are confirmed by the Senate and any dismissals require 30 days notice to Congress.
