As Jim Hoft previously reported, Trump fired 17 Inspectors General in a Friday night purge to punctuate the end of his first week in office.

Trump made an exception, though, for current Department of Homeland Security Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari Jr., who is conducting multiple investigations into the Secret Service failures that led to two assassination attempts on his life.

The White House stated that they removed these partisan hacks to make room for people who will actually "uphold the rule of law and protect Democracy."
