President Trump has fired so many independent IGs that I’ve lost count. He replaces them with partisan cronies to cover up corruption and incompetence. Trump’s actions eat away at our democracy and erode Americans’ faith in government.

The @StateDept already suffers from a toxic combination of malice and neglect under this admin. Removing the Inspector General, allegedly as retaliation for investigating @SecPompeo, is another punch to the gut for our career diplomats.

I’ve introduced the biggest bill since Watergate to #EndCorruptionNow. And just this week, I introduced a bill to #StopCOVIDCorruption. Both of these bills will empower and protect IGs. Congress could vote on both of these bills right now – and they should.
