Following another ouster of a government watchdog by the president, Trump is being accused of possibly committing “an unlawful act of retaliation” by the Democratic chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Late Friday, Trump informed Congress in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of his intent to fire State Department Inspector General Steve Linick. Ambassador Stephen Akard, who has ties with Vice President Mike Pence, will fill Linick’s position when it becomes vacant in 30 days.
According to Politico, the president said he “no longer” had the “fullest confidence” in Linick,...

Zaid also said he is representing both, along with attorney and former CIA official Andrew P. Bakaj.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham made a correction on Thursday about Mark Zaid, one of the whistleblower’s attorneys who she claimed had once represented Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer.
“That was incorrect,” Ingraham said on her show, The Ingraham Angle. “I was mistaking Mark for another attorney representing the whistleblower named Andrew Bakaj, who just worked for Clinton and Schumer. I apologize for that mixup.”
Zaid objected to her claim, made on Wednesday night during an interview with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-ca), and in a series of Twitter posts wrote that “to be clear, at no time have I ever represented Senator Schumer or Secretary Clinton. Ever. Never.”
He added that Bakaj, his co-counsel, interned with Schumer and Clinton when he was 19 or 20 and in college.
President Donald Trump’s defenders are “trying to smear the legal team as some liberal opposition,” Zaid wrote. “We are anything but that.
