John,
Since early April, confirmed COVID-19 cases in the U.S. jumped from 275,000 to more than 1.7 million. In that time, while we needed laser focus on fighting the pandemic, President Donald Trump has instead put his energy into undermining trust and transparency in our government.
Since April, he has removed four independent Inspectors General tasked with rooting out potential corruption and illegal activity at federal agencies. Among those four was the official selected to oversee the implementation of the initial $2 trillion COVID-19 relief bill, as well as an individual who published a report outlining shortfalls in the administration’s COVID-19 response.
Mike recently published an editorial on why Congress needs to investigate these firings and check Trump's attempts to evade accountability. Read it now and share with your friends.
Americans deserve to know that our leaders are acting on behalf of the people they serve -- not to advance their own political or personal interests. That's true at any time. It's even more vital at a moment like this one, when millions of lives and trillions of dollars are at stake.
Mike is calling for hearings into the removal of four independent Inspectors General since April. Read his piece, then share:
