US President Donald Trump may today fire Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, CIA Director Gina Haspel, and FBI chief Christopher Ray. This is reported by CNN analyst and author in The Washington Post Josh Rogin on his Twitter account.
According to him, he learned about the plans of the head of state from numerous sources in the administration. The journalist notes that the president may have changed his plans for the FBI director, and the head of the department will remain at his post. He noted that the reason for the possible layoffs is Trump's dissatisfaction with the fact that the Secretary of Defense and the CIA director did not do everything he wanted them to do.
In late October, it was reported that US presidential candidate Donald Trump plans to fire the heads of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Pentagon after the elections if he is re-elected. In addition, in June, Trump was on the verge of firing Esper because he refused to send troops to suppress protests in the country's cities.
