Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, sent a letter to the acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell on Tuesday demanding he turn over documents explaining his management of the intelligence community amid concerns of the politicization of the agency.
Why it matters: The letter, which calls for a response by April 16, comes as President Trump continues his purge of inspectors general across the federal government that he deems disloyal to his administration.
* Late Friday night, Trump fired Michael Atkinson, the intelligence community IG who alerted Congress to the whistleblower complaint that triggered the impeachment proceedings against the president.
* On Monday, Trump removed Glenn Fine, the Pentagon's acting inspector general, who was slated to oversee the implementation of the government's $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill.
