The Government Accountability Office said the appointments of two controversial Trump officials were against the law.

The Government Accountability Office, a nonpartisan congressional watchdog, released a report on Friday saying two of Donald Trump's top officials were illegally appointed to their roles, as Trump did not properly follow laws guiding the order of succession.

The report determined that both Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, and Ken Cuccinelli, who currently serves as both senior official performing the duties of the deputy secretary for DHS as well as acting director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, were not correctly appointed to their roles and are thus serving illegally.

The GAO said it did not "review the consequences" of the fact that both Wolf and Cuccinelli were illegally appointed. Instead, it said it recommends the DHS inspector general look into that.

However, it raises questions about the legality of both men's actions in leading the department.
