Burr to Step Down From Senate Intel Committee While FBI Probes Stock Trading
“Burr’s reversal on the DNI nomination of Ratcliffe—who he knows is grossly unqualified—appears to be the product of Burr’s recognition that he’s in hot criminal justice water,” the attorney said, “and he, like Flynn, might soon find himself dependent on Trump to bail him out.”

Trump ousts State Department watchdog
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/15/state-department-inspector-general-fired-261536
Update:
Pompeo advised firing of State Department watchdog, White House official says
Pompeo "recommended the move" and President Donald Trump "agreed," the official said.
Friday night's firing of State Department Inspector General Steve Linick came as he "was looking into the Secretary's misuse of a political appointee at the Department to perform personal tasks for himself and Mrs. Pompeo," a Democratic aide told NBC News.

Update the second:
“I have learned that there may be another reason for Mr. Linick’s firing,” Rep. Eliot L. Engel (D-N.Y.), the chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said in a statement sent to me. “His office was investigating — at my request — Trump’s phony declaration of an emergency so he could send weapons to Saudi Arabia.”

Pompeo Scrutinized For Lavish Government-Funded Dinners With Business, Media Figures
The records show that about 29 percent of the invitees came from the corporate world, while about a quarter of them hailed from the media or entertainment industries, with conservative media members heavily represented. About 30 percent work in politics or government, and just 14 percent were diplomats or foreign officials. Every single member of the House or the Senate who has been invited is a Republican.
