The Trump administration purged at least a dozen federal inspectors general overnight Friday, multiple sources confirmed to CBS News. It is an unprecedented move that will likely result in legal challenges.

Speaking to reporters abroad Air Force One on his way to Florida, President Trump on Saturday described the firings as “standard” and a “very common thing to do.”

However, the inspector general of the U.S. Small Business Administration said the firings are legally dubious and will be challenged.

Hannibal “Mike” Ware was among those fired. He argued in a letter to a White House personnel official, which was obtained by CBS News on Saturday, that he “does not believe the actions taken are legally sufficient.”
