President Donald Trump took a victory lap at a Las Vegas casino on Saturday after a five days of issuing executive orders on immigration, the economy, DEI and more.
Trump late Friday night stirred up outrage when he blindsided at least 17 inspectors general at multiple federal agencies by firing them in an email from the White House personnel office.
Meanwhile, two more of Trump's picks for his Cabinet -- Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense and Kristi Noem as secretary of Homeland Security -- were sworn in to office on Saturday.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa said in a statement Saturday that Congress was not given the mandatory 30-day notice over the termination of over a dozen independent inspectors generals.
"There may be good reason the IGs were fired. We need to know that if so. I'd like further explanation from President Trump," the senator said in a statement.

In floor remarks Saturday morning, Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer ripped into the Trump administration for dismissing 17 independent inspectors general.
"It's a preview of the lawless approach that Donald Trump and his administration are taking far too often as he is becoming president," Schumer said.
The senator noted that the dismissals are a possible violation of federal law requiring Congress be given 30-day notice of such a firing.
Schumer said Trump could "well regret" his action.

In a late-night Friday move, President Donald Trump fired at least 17 independent watchdogs -- known as inspectors general -- at multiple federal agencies, sources familiar with the move told ABC News.
While inspectors general can be fired by the president - it can only happen after communicating with Congress 30 days in advance and in 2022 Congress strengthened the law requiring administrations to give a detailed reasoning for the firing of an IG.
At least one high-profile watchdog - Justice Department IG Michael Horowitz - did not receive notice that he was fired as of yesterday evening.

Joe Kasper, the new chief of staff for the Department of Defense, issued a memo to senior leadership Friday on suspending the department's social media accounts "at all levels" for 10 days, beginning Saturday, to give time to reorient content to have greater focus on national security, military lethality "and fighting and winning wars."
Notably, the memo includes an exception to the social media pause for posts relating to the southern border mission.
