A high-ranking Defense official has just learned the hard way that President Donald Trump and his administration aren’t afraid to let go of people who refuse to serve their agenda.
According to the New York Post, Air Force Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), was fired this week.
Kruse was fired from his powerful role in the wake of a DIA bomb-damage assessment report that was ultimately leaked to the corporate media.
The report claimed that President Trump’s strikes on Iran earlier this year only set the rogue regime back a few months regarding its nuclear program.
These claims were contrary to what the Trump administration had reported.
A senior Defense official reportedly told the Post that Kruse “will no longer serve as DIA Director.”
The firing reportedly came down from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over what was described as a “loss of confidence” in the three-star general, according to congressional sources.
The damage assessment report after the strikes on Iran, which were carried out by stealth bombers, was reportedly leaked to CNN.
The Post noted:
