Last Friday he fired State Dept. IG who was reportedly looking into misconduct by Pompeo (i.e. throwing lavish parties on taxpayer dime). As well as a recently finished report on a Pompeo aide failing to report workplace violence allegations.

He also replaced the Dept. of Transportation IG who was investigating Elaine Chao's (McConnell's wife) potential favoritism in awarding govt. contracts. The replacement is a Trump political appointee and McConnell was reportedly "integral" to the Senate's consideration of the new IG.
