Pentagon starts firing Trump-era officials by the hundreds

New US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered the sacking of several hundred members of advisory boards at the Pentagon as part of a so-called broad performance review

They are representatives from the Defense Policy, Health, Science and Business Councils. These departments have recently listed a slew of Donald Trump supporters. Now they are being forced to resign, and no later than February 16.

“I order the immediate suspension of all advisory council operations pending completion of a broad review, unless otherwise directed by me or the undersecretary of defence”, –  Austin’s executive order reads.
