Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said he’s placing holds on two of President Donald Trump’s nominees because he hasn’t received sufficient justification for the firing of two inspector generals.

Grassley in a statement Thursday said he’s ramping up pressure on the president and top administration officials “until I get reasons” for the firings “as required by law.”
