Navy Secretary Fired Over SEAL Controversy

".....Following Trump's tweet, the Navy was given White House guidance on November 22 that it would be allowed to proceed as planned according to an anonymous Navy official. According to the  Epoch Times, however, "This would seem to have defused a conflict between the president and Navy leaders.  Navy Secretary Richard Spencer said Nov. 23 at an international security forum in Halifax, Nova Scotia, that he didn’t consider a tweet by Trump an order.  He said he would need a formal order to stop the Navy review board, scheduled to begin Dec. 2, that would determine whether Gallagher is allowed to remain in the SEALs."

"I need a formal order to act," Spencer said.

And now, he's been formally fired."
