Inspector general firings

In the wide-ranging interview, Schumer also reacted to Trump's firing of State Department Inspector General Steve Linick late Friday. Trump has said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asked him to fire Linick. Linick had been conducting at least two oversight investigations into Pompeo's activities, including the administration's use of emergency powers to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia despite congressional opposition, and whether Pompeo was inappropriately using staff to run personal errands, according to a congressional aide.

"Unfortunately it seems to be what the President does. When he hears the truth, instead of listening to it and adapting to it, he fires people," Schumer said. Schumer called for a full investigation into the charges against Pompeo.
