WASHINGTON — The White House fired the inspector general for the U.S. Agency for International Development on Tuesday, a U.S. official said.
It comes a day after the watchdog’s office warned that the Trump administration’s dismantling of USAID had made it all but impossible to monitor $8.2 billion in humanitarian funds.
The official, who had direct knowledge of the firing, was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The White House gave no reason for the firing, the official said. The dismissal was first reported by CNN.
