Acting State Department inspector general resigns
Acting inspector general Stephen Akard resigned about two months after Stephen Linick was removed from the post

The State Departments acting inspector general resigned Wednesday, roughly two months after his predecessor was ousted.
Acting inspector general Stephen Akard resigned Wednesday and will reportedly return to the private sector.
We appreciate his dedication to the department and to our country, the department said in a statement. Deputy inspector general Diana Shaw will serve as the new acting inspector general after Akard leaves Friday, according to the Associated Press.
Trump removed Akards predecessor, Stephen Linick, after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo complained about his poor performance.
Democrats and others allege Linick was forced out because his government watchdog office was investigating allegations of impropriety by Pompeo.
The Democrat-controlled House on Monday issued subpoenas to four Pompeo aides, arguing the administration is stonewalling its investigation into Linicks firing.

Trump outraises Biden in July, after two months of falling short
POTUS and the RNC raised more in July than any single month in 2016
By Sophie Mann Updated: August 6, 2020 - 7:37am

President Trump, his re-elect campaign and the Republican National Committee in July raised more money than Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden.
For the last two months, Biden raised more than the sitting president.
Trump’s 2020 campaign and the RNC reported $165 million in campaign donations last month, more than was raised during any month of the 2016 election, according to the campaign.
The campaign has pivoted to online fundraising events, the largest one of which took place in July.
The Democratic National Committed and the Biden campaign reported bringing in $140 million in July, with 97% coming in the form of small dollar donors. The average contribution was just under $35, according to the campaign.
Team Trump reports having $300 million in its coffers, compared to Biden’s $294 million war chest,
The Trump campaign also sized up, bringing on 300 field staffers to enhance the president’s ground game. The Trump reelection effort is now employing 1,500 people.
Biden’s two good months were from donations to BLM that were diverted to democrats. They’d been hurting without guys like Ed Buck and Harvey Weinstein.
Exactly.
