Ousted State Dept. watchdog was probing Trump's Saudi arms sales
By Laura Kelly - 05/18/20 01:00 PM EDT

The State Department inspector general was investigating the administration’s use of an emergency declaration to sell billions of dollars of weapons to Saudi Arabia and other allies when he was fired last week, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said in a statement on Monday.

President Trump late Friday evening announced his intention to dismiss Steve Linick, the State Department inspector general (IG) since 2013, and drew swift rebuke from Democrats who accused the administration of political retaliation, saying the IG was investigating Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's possible misuse of taxpayer funds.

Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) said Monday the IG's firing may also be tied to an investigation into the administration's Saudi arms sale.
