WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump late Friday said he intends to remove the inspector general for the U.S. intelligence community, who last year called a whistleblower’s complaint about Mr. Trump’s dealings with Ukraine credible and pushed to share it with Congress.
Mr. Trump’s decision to fire Michael Atkinson is the latest in a string of dismissals or firings of more than a half-dozen top U.S. intelligence officials, particularly at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
