Trump Has Discussed Firing Inspector General

“President Trump has discussed dismissing the intelligence community’s inspector general, Michael Atkinson, because Mr. Atkinson reported a whistle-blower’s complaint about Mr. Trump’s interactions with Ukraine to Congress after concluding it was credible,” the New York Times reports.

“The president has said he does not understand why Mr. Atkinson shared the complaint… He has said he believes Mr. Atkinson, whom he appointed in 2017, has been disloyal.”

It's not Atkinson's fault that he's doing his duty and Trump isn't.
