White House military personnel removed amid investigation into contacts with foreign women during Trump’s Asia trip

By Carol D. Leonnig, Dan Lamothe and Julie Tate November 21 at 7:42 PM

Three military personnel have been reassigned from their White House jobs amid allegations that they had improper contact with foreign women while traveling with President Trump on his recent trip to Asia, according to officials familiar with the situation.

The service members all worked for the White House Communications Agency, a specialized military unit that helps provide the president, vice president, Secret Service and other officials with secure communications.

The military is scrutinizing three Army noncommissioned officers who allegedly broke curfew during Trump’s trip to Vietnam this month, officials said.

Mark Wright, a spokesman for the Defense Department, confirmed that the Pentagon is examining the behavior of personnel during the visit to Vietnam.

Given the passage of time, the soldiers and the Vietnamese women could have the same grandfather(s).

Do you enjoy practicing law? I was in that profession from 1971 to 1996 then became a beach bum. I find the latter much more pleasant.

Senior NCO's with super high level security clearances, working in the President's communication office. They probably are attached to the NSA, the Defense Intelligence Agency and Army Security Agency.
