Bipartisan group of senators call on President Trump to provide a 'detailed written explanation' for the removal of the inspector general who flagged the Ukraine whistleblower complaint.
"Congressional intent is clear that an expression of lost confidence, without further explanation, is not sufficient to fulfill the requirements of the statute," the letter reads.
Grassley, a co-founder and leader of the Whistleblower Protection Caucus, said senators from both parties raised concerns with the administration of President Barack Obama in 2009 after an inspector general was placed on leave. The letter asks Trump to provide a"more detailed reasoning" for Atkinson's removal by Monday."Please also provide your views on how the appointment of an acting official prior to the end of the 30 day notice period comports with statutory requirements," the letter reads.
