Published 10 hours ago on May 1, 2020

President Donald Trump is continuing his battle against public servants who reveal federal government wrongdoing.
President Trump moved on Friday night to replace a top official at the Department of Health and Human Services who angered him with a report last month highlighting supply shortages and testing delays at hospitals during the coronavirus pandemic, The New York Times reported Friday evening.
The timing of the move was of note.
The White House waited until after business hours to announce the nomination of a new inspector general for the department who, if confirmed, would take over for Christi A. Grimm, the principal deputy inspector general who was publicly assailed by the president at a news briefing three weeks ago, the newspaper reported.
