8 fmr IGs who were summarily fired by #Trump last month filed a lawsuit on Wednesday asking a judge to declare their removals illegal & order the govt to reinstate them.
“The purported firings violated unambiguous federal statutes—each enacted by bipartisan majorities in #Congress & signed into #law by the president—to protect inspectors general from precisely this sort of interference with the discharge of their critical, nonpartisan duties,” the complaint said.
