(The Center Square) – House Democrats are launching an investigation into what they see as unlawful removals of corruption guardrails in the federal government by the Trump administration.
On behalf of the House committees on the Judiciary and on Oversight and Government, Reps. Gerald Connolly, D-Va., Summer Lee, D-Pa., Jamie Raskin, D-Md., and Lucy McBath, D-Ga., sent a scathing letter Friday to Attorney General Pam Bondi, demanding information regarding the administration’s rapid-fire actions, including the firing of 17 inspectors general.
