NEW: Inspectors general say Trump's removals may be illegal since they fail to comply with 2022 law requiring 30 days notice to Congress

President Trump fired at least 12 inspectors general late on Friday, people with knowledge of the matter said. The White House appeared to have violated a law that requires giving Congress 30 days of notice and detailed reasons before removing the watchdog officials.
