Trump fired IG Linick in a surprise move last Friday night. The decision was recommended by Pompeo, according to the White House.
. Trump vetoed the resolutions last July, and the GOP-held Senate failed in an attempt to override the veto.
Trump's firing of Linick came in a surprise move Friday night. Trump said in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday that he had lost confidence in Linick, without providing further explanation. "We don't have the full picture yet, but it's troubling that Secretary Pompeo wanted Mr. Linick pushed out before this work could be completed," Engel said.
