Eight former internal government watchdogs who were fired by President Trump file a lawsuit.

The legal challenge argues that their firings violate federal laws that were enacted to protect inspectors general from interference with their duties.

One of those laws, passed in 2022 , requires a president to give Congress 30 days notice about the removal of an inspector general.
