Defense secretary threatens to 'walk' unless Trump axes fanatic loyalist, source says [View all]
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/they-blinked-defense-secretary-threatens-to-walk-unless-trump-axes-fanatic-loyalist-source-says/Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis reportedly told the White House he would resign unless a Trump campaign loyalist was removed from her job.
DefenseNews reported on Wednesday that supporters of Mattis were expecting the White House to reassign Mira Ricardel from her job at the Office of Presidential Personnel.
According to the report, Ricardel is a former member of Trump’s campaign who is seen as “a loyal soldier who is looking out for the interests of the President.”
Sources told DefenseNews that Ricardel was “a roadblock for nominees,” making it difficult for Mattis to fill top-level positions at the Pentagon.
