“President Trump fires people for telling the truth,” Sen. Chuck Schumer said.
Trump informed Congress of the firing Friday night and said that while Atkinson will officially leave his job in 30 days he was put on administrative leave effective immediately.
“As is the case with regard to other positions where I, as president, have the power of appointment, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, it is vital that I have the fullest confidence in the appointees serving as inspectors general,”. “That is no longer the case with regard to this inspector general.” Trump did not name a permanent successor and said he would do so “at a later date.”
