‘He Was Fired’: Fox News Reports Navy Secretary Did Not Leave on His Own

‘He had a very close relationship, apparently, with Donald Trump Jr.’

EXCERPT:

HEINRICH: “Yeah, the Pentagon spokesman just announced Navy Secretary John Phelan is departing the administration, effective immediately, saying: ‘We wish him well in his future endeavors.’ It was not immediately clear from this post if he resigned or was fired, but Fox News has learned in the last few moments that he was fired. He had a very close relationship, apparently, with Donald Trump Jr. And just posted a bridal shower for his fiancée this past weekend in Palm Beach. Phelan was confirmed by the Senate just over a year ago. Undersecretary Hung Cao is to assume the role of acting secretary. This marks the 34th military officer that Secretary Hegseth has fired since taking over the agency, Bret.”
