Defense Secretary Mark Esper has fired the Navy secretary for proposing a secret agreement with the White House over Navy SEAL's discipline, an official says
Navy Secretary Richard Spencer was"fired for proposing a secret agreement with the White House" involving the case of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, according to a senior defense official.
Gallagher was convicted of bringing discredit to the armed services after posing next to a dead ISIS fighter's body, which is against regulations. He was then demoted in rank -- a decision President Donald Trump a week ago reversed in a move that angered military officials. Military officials then moved ahead with the process to review Gallagher's status in the elite group.
