BREAKING: According to DailyMail — President Trump has fired Secret Service director Randolph Alles after the agency attempted to deny blame for allowing the Chinese malware carrier into Mar-a-Lago.
President Donald Trump followed the departure of his Homeland Security secretary with another fresh firing on Monday, releasing director of the U.S. Secret Service from his position.
CNN first reported that President Trump ordered his WH chief of staff Mick Mulvaney to fire Randolph ‘Tex’ Alles — Blaming him for the way the agency failed to protect the President from an attempted cyber attack at the President’s Florida retreat.
The secret service blamed the President’s private security detail.
The President remarked at the time that he was ‘not concerned at all’ about the potential breach by Zhang, adding that the “Secret Service is fantastic. These are fantastic people. And the end result is it was good.”
“The result is they were able to get her and she’s now suffering the consequences of whatever it is she had in mind but I would say I could not be happier with Secret Service. Secret Service has done a fantastic job from day one. Very happy with them.”
WH Press Secretary Sarah Sanders let Alles down gracefully in a statement Monday, claiming Alles “has done a great job at the agency over the last two years, and the President is thankful for his over 40 years of service to the country.”
“Mr. Alles will be leaving shortly and President Trump has selected James M. Murray, a career member of the USSS, to take over as director beginning in May.”
DailyMail then commented on Trump’s advisor, Stephen Miller, “A White House source with knowledge of the West Wing’s goings on in the past week told DailyMail.com on Monday that Miller has advocated internally for Nielsen’s firing, and for Alles to follow her out the door.
Miller is known as a sharp-tongued promoter of hawkish immigration policies that Democrats have complained push the boundaries of federal law and too often challenge court precedents.”
The White House Press commented earlier on Monday that with an increasing entrance of illegal migrants pouring into the U.S. from the south, ‘it’s time to do things a little differently.’
