Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) sent a letter to President Donald Trump on Tuesday requesting he explain the recent firings of 18 inspectors general across the federal government. Grassley is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Durbin is the ranking member.

Trump, 78, reportedly axed the inspectors general of nearly every Cabinet-level agency late Friday night without notifying congressional lawmakers, as many argue is required by law.

Days after President Donald Trump terminated more than a dozen Inspector Generals around the federal government, two high-profile senators are seeking more information on the dismissals.
