The Pentagon is in the throes of a change. Many are in the midst of resignation.
The Pentagon leadership has been affected since President Donald Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Asper.
James Anderson, the top policymaker among Pentagon officials, released his resignation letter Tuesday announcing the resignation of Mark Asper’s chief of staff, Jane Stewart. It has been mentioned that his resignation will be effective immediately.
Meanwhile, amid rumors that Trump could fire Gina Haspel from the post of CIA director, Republican senators have voiced their support for her. News from The Hill.
Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller said in a statement after the Pentagon submitted his resignation. I would like to thank Anderson, Jane Stewart for their contributions to the nation and the Department of Defense. Throughout their career they have made multiple contributions to the future of the Ministry of Defense and National Defense. We hope you are successful in the next step.
After the resignation of so many officials, the Trump administration is expected to take steps to fill these positions quickly with loyalists.
The goal is to take controversial executive action just 60 days after Trump leaves the White House.
Adam Smith, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said the resignation of three officials just one day after the defense minister’s removal was a “serious problem.” These resignations are the beginning of a process that every American should panic about.
Smith said Trump and his supporters have sown the seeds of division and chaos since former Vice President Joe Biden was elected president. Now it has reached the Pentagon.
Trump has proposed the name of retired Brigadier General Anthony Tata to replace Anderson. Smith is also concerned about this.
He said Trump nominated Fox News commentator Tata as the Pentagon’s top policy official this summer. But then his controversial comments about Islam came to light and he was forced to withdraw his name.
Tata tweeted Barack Obama as the terrorist leader and Islam as the most violent religion he knew.
CIA Director Gina Gaspel has made some decisions regarding the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 elections. Out of frustration, there are rumors that Trump could fire him. The reason for speculation about Haspel’s future is that the fired Defense Secretary Mark Asper may speak about pre-election events.
In this way, the situation can take a different turn. Then Trump may think that it is better to remove the director of the CIA. But top Republican senators say they see no reason other than personal likes and dislikes to fire the CIA director.
