President Trump fired State Department Inspector General Steve Linick Friday night, notifying Congress of the decision in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
A Democratic aide told NBC News that Linick was scrutinizing Pompeo's alleged misuse of a political appointee to perform person tasks for himself and his wife, Susan. Democratic lawmakers have launched an investigation into Linick's removal. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., launched an investigation into Linick's removal Saturday, claiming Pompeo wanted the inspector general removed because the secretary was under investigation. Menendez and Engel have called for the White House to turn over records related to Linick's firing.

GUILTY
Illegal options shouldn’t be options presented to the president.
All Obama filth should be fired
Pompeo is a scumbag
Makes perfect sense. He would have been the IG overseeing his misdeeds.
🤷🏼♂️
The most corrupt administration in history of this country.
What ya trying to hide realDonaldTrump? Just another round of your bullshit.
Lol...trump bus is heading to Pompeo
IT'S COMPLETELY FALSE, Trump attacks China. He likes that. People like to listen to people so that Trump tries to win the elections and then he releases news of vaccines to try not to spoil the economy. The vaccine will come out within 1 year is information all pharmaceuticals.
Because Pompeo can’t find another way to hide from his investigation.
What took so long?
He recommended firing the man investigating him and trump agreed. Tell me this isn’t corruption!
Lol, because “high-ethic-standard Mike” cannot stand anyone launching any investigation into him
So the IG begins investigating Pompeo, Pompeo asks for him to be fired and he gets fired?
Now arrest Obama
Someone has to take the fall.
Well of course he did
