The White House fired independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies.

The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days ’ notice of any intent to fire the inspectors general.

Most of those dismissed were Trump appointees from his first term, which stunned the group.
