Donald Trump seemingly broke the law — again. On Monday, he purged several inspectors general who audit and investigate federal agencies for abuse, without giving Congress 30 days’ notice and reasons for the firing — obligatory by law. The fired IGs are the nonpartisan “watch dogs” he doesn’t want.
