  • Summary

  • We begin this episode of The ReidOut with Mark Greenblatt, the former Inspector General of the Interior Department, who was among 18 inspectors general abruptly fired in a Friday night purge by Donald Trump. When questioned, a White House official claimed the firings were part of an effort to shed remnants of the Biden administration that did not align with the new Trump administration. However, inspectors general are apolitical by design, tasked with investigating misconduct regardless of partisan considerations. Moreover, the firings likely violate federal law, which mandates a 30-day congressional notice and justifications for removing an inspector general. Predictably, sycophantic Republican senators, including Lindsey Graham, remain unperturbed by this latest move from Trump.
