Republicans for the Rule of Law and Protect Democracy released a new video in response to President Trump’s removal of the inspector general in charge of overseeing coronavirus stimulus funds. The removal of Inspector General Fine follows Trump’s signing statement suggesting he can control what information the new Special Inspector General on Pandemic Recovery can provide to Congress.
