Censure Trump. The House should move directly to a censure vote.

Trump acknowledges he fired IG Atkinson bc he didn’t like how he handled the whistleblower complaint, which led to impeachment. Calls Atkinson a “disgrace” and attacks whistleblower. Trump doesn’t explain why he waited until April to fire him over something that happened in September. Late last night, DOJ inspector general Michael Horowitz—who also chairs CIGIE—released this striking statement: “IG Atkinson is known throughout the Inspector General community for his integrity...That includes his actions in handling the Ukraine whistleblower complaint.” With this admission, the House should move directly to a censure vote. Let whoever can defend the retaliatory firing make the argument. Censure Trump
