In an earlier statement, Engel said that the OIG had opened an investigation into Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, noting the removal of Linick "strongly suggests that this is an unlawful act of retaliation."
Citing a Democratic aide, The New York Times reported that Linick was probing whether Pompeo had misused a political appointee at the State Department to perform personal tasks for himself and his wife.
A State Department spokesperson said that Director of the Office of Foreign Missions Stephen Akard would lead the OIG in an acting capacity. Akard previously served as senior foreign affairs advisor to several governors of Indiana, including Mike Pence, according to his profile on the State Department website.
