Trump Firing Spree Victim Tells CNN Brutal Details Of His Termination — Couldn’t Even Clean Out His Desk

Former U.S. Department of the Interior Inspector General Mark Greenblatt revealed brutal details of his firing by President Donald Trump to CNN anchor Kasie Hunt — including that he doesn’t even know how he’ll get his stuff back from his office.

Trump conducted a late-night purge Friday of at least 17 inspectors general, federal watchdogs who are protected by a law requiring notice and a clear rationale for their removal by a president — which Trump did not provide.

On Monday’s edition of CNN This Morning, Hunt interviewed Greenblatt, who revealed the content of the email he got notifying him of his firing and what’s going on with his personal effects:

HUNT: Can you explain how you learned about this? What happened on Friday?

GREENBLATT: So, Friday night I got an email on my work phone and I checked it. And on there was a – it said White House notification. And I knew that can’t be good.

In the prior Trump administration they had removed – President Trump had removed two inspectors general, both of which were on Friday nights. And so those were Friday night, you know, Friday night massacres at that time. And so, to get an email from the White House saying White House notification on a Friday night at 7:30, I knew that couldn’t be good.

And so, I opened it up and there was a two sentence email from the Director of Presidential Personnel that said, in light of changing priorities, you are, you know, terminated from your position at the, you know, Department of the Interior effective immediately, and thank you for your service.

HUNT: So, have you had a chance to clean out your office?

GREENBLATT: No, actually. My email has been cut off and I don’t know what’s going to happen with my – with my things. I was there for five and a half years. And so, we’ll see.

HUNT: You were appointed by Donald Trump, or named to this position by Donald Trump back in 2019. Do you have any sense of why he would put you on this list?

GREENBLATT: No, I don’t know. And all that was stated was the changing priorities in that – in that email, which I understand the other IGs who were removed, the 17 or 18 of us were still sifting through the rubble, frankly, to find out how many IGs were removed. But as far as I know, all of us got essentially the same email that said, changing priorities.
