President Donald Trump’s authoritarian war on oversight continues. americanoversight.org/another-friday…
In another late-night, weekend firing, Trump gave Congress notice that he was ousting State IG Steve Linick, the independent watchdog of the department headed by one of Trump’s most loyal cabinet members, Secretary Mike Pompeo. politico.com/news/2020/05/1…
Linick was reportedly looking into allegations that Pompeo' had a political appointee perform personal errands for him and his wife.

Trump’s efforts to shirk oversight are deeply alarming, and American Oversight will continue its work of holding the administration accountable.
We’ve sued the State Department and the CIA for records of whistleblower complaints regarding Pompeo’s conduct, including related communications sent or received by Linick. americanoversight.org/new-lawsuit-se…
We’ve also filed a FOIA request for communications that Stephen Akard, a Pence ally who’s been tapped to replace Linick, has had with the Office of the Vice President. americanoversight.org/document/foia-…
