The inspector general of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) was fired on Feb. 11, one day after his office issued a report criticizing the dismantling of USAID that’s being undertaken by the Trump administration.
Trent Morse, deputy director of the White House Office of Presidential Personnel, informed Paul Martin, the inspector general, of his termination via email. Morse told Martin that he was fired “effective immediately,” a copy of the email shows.
