Trump administration cites 'changing priorities' in emails that fired inspectors general

The email ousting at least one top federal watchdog from their post was so short, it could fit in a tweet.

The two-sentence long letter to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Inspector General Christi Grimm cited “changing priorities” under the President Donald Trump's new administration, according to a copy of the note obtained by ABC News.

“On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that due to changing priorities your position as Inspector General… is terminated, effective immediately. Thank you for your service," the email read.
