Washington (AP) – Eight state wax dogs have sued for their mass surge, which eliminates the fresh administration of President Donald Trump.
The lawsuit, which was submitted on Wednesday before a federal court in Washington, calls on a judge to illegally explain the shots and to restore the general inspectors in the agencies in the agencies.
The wax dogs are commissioned with the selection of waste, fraud and abuse among government agencies to play a non -partisan supervisory role via trillion dollars in federal expenses and the execution of millions of federal employees, according to the lawsuit.
The presidents can remove the general inspectors, but the Trump government did not give the congress a legally required termination of 30 days, which even condemned a top republican.
The White House did not immediately answer a message that had submitted a comment on the lawsuit. Trump said he would insert fresh “good people” into the jobs.
The administration released more than a dozen general inspectors on a Friday night on the fourth whole day of Trump’s second term. Although the general inspectors are the presidential officer, some presidents of both parties serve. It is expected that everyone is impartial. Two of the plaintiffs had been nominated in the general inspector role in his first term.
“The dismissal of the independent, impartial general inspector was a clear violation of the law,” said Michael Missal, the former general inspector of the Ministry of Veteran affairs. “The IGS bring this campaign to reinstate so that they can get back to work for waste waste and abuse in the American public.”
At the time of the shots, Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said there may have been good reasons for the dismissals, but this congress should know.
The lawsuit takes place one day after the White House has released the General Inspector for the US Agency for International Development after warning from his office that the management of this agency had not made it impossible, 8.2 To monitor billions of US dollars of non -issued humanitarian means.
The role of the general inspector of today’s inspector comes from Washington after the Watergate when the congress offices within agencies installed as an independent check against mismanagement and abuse of power.
Democrats and watch dog groups said that the shots trigger alarms, that Trump makes it easier to apply the government.
At the time, Trump said that the shots “to do one very often”. However, the lawsuit states that this is not true and that mass shots have been considered inappropriate since the 1980s.
The layoffs were carried out by similarly formulated e -mails by the director or the deputy director of the office of the presidential staff. The computers, phones and the access badges of the wax dogs were collected within a few days. The officials were built into their respective agencies to collect their personal objects under supervision, they said in the lawsuit.
However, the general inspector of the agricultural department returned on Monday after information about the release to work, “recognize the e -mail as not effective,” the lawsuit said. The watchdog led several sessions through government systems and took their computer and telephone.
Trump has questioned her authority in the past. In 2020, he replaced several general inspectors in his first term, including those who head the Ministry of Defense and the Secret Service community, as well as that a special package for pandemic -pandemy package for the pandemic aid package of 2, Led 2 trillion US dollars.
The most recent round of discharge saved Michael Horowitz, the general inspector of the long -standing Ministry of Justice, who has published reports on various politically explosive criminal investigations in the past ten years.
In December 2019, for example, Horowitz published a report in which the FBI for surveillance command applications complied with the investigation of the connections between Russia and Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. However, the report also showed that the investigation had been opened for a legitimate purpose and found no evidence that the partisans were led to investigation.
The lawsuit was submitted by the general inspectors of the defense departments, veteran affairs, health and human services, state, education, agriculture and work as well as the tiny business administration.
