President Trump says Atkinson badly handled the whistleblower report that triggered his impeachment probe.
Late on Friday, the White House told Atkinson, the Intelligence Community’s inspector general, that he would be terminated from his position in 30 days. Atkinson’s firing prompted concerns among some Congressional Republicans and criticism from Democrats. “However, in order to be effective, the IG must be allowed to conduct his or her work independent of internal or external pressure.”
Trump is trying to scare the watchdog community, Adam Schiff, a California Democrat and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee told MSNBC Saturday morning. Democrats have expressed concerns about how the fiscal package will be doled out through the US Treasury, headed by Steven Mnuchin.
