Trump continues to purge Pentagon of whistle blowers and names completely unqualified person to head all 17 US intelligence agencies
The Pentagon's top policy official, who warned against withholding military aid to Ukraine last year, removed at Trump’s request.
John Rood is the latest senior national security official involved in the Ukraine controversy to be forced out after Trump was acquitted in the Senate impeachment trial, though sources said he broke with the administration on several issues.
Trump named current Richard Grenell, a staunch loyalist and the current US ambassador to Germany, as acting spy chief. Grenell's lack of intelligence-related experience is likely to unsettle the US intelligence community, which has endured repeated attacks from the President since his election.
