Trump Orders Purge Of Alleged “Never Trumpers”

Axios reports:

Johnny McEntee called in White House liaisons from cabinet agencies for an introductory meeting Thursday, in which he asked them to identify political appointees across the U.S. government who are believed to be anti-Trump, three sources familiar with the meeting tell Axios.

Behind the scenes: McEntee, a 29-year-old former body man to Trump who was fired in 2018 by then-Chief of Staff John Kelly but recently rehired — and promoted to head the presidential personnel office — foreshadowed sweeping personnel changes across government.

Barely 48 hours after Trump was acquitted in the Senate, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman — a key national security official who testified during the impeachment inquiry that Trump’s July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was “improper” — was “escorted” out of his White House post.

But McEntee suggested the most dramatic changes may have to wait until after the November election.

Good. @realDonaldTrump deserves a team that is determined to implement his agenda. Political appointees who are actively undermining @POTUS should resign or be fired. https://t.co/wOepsyku7B
