So which is it? I'm so confused by all the spins
I am confused about the Navy Secretary's resignation/firing
I have read that Spencer threatened to resign if Trump interfered and restored Eddie Gallaghers Seal status
but then I read in the Washington Post that Spencer privately asked Trump to restore the Seal status.
"Esper asked for Spencers resignation after learning that he had privately proposed to White House officials that if they did not interfere with proceedings against Gallagher, then Spencer would ensure that Gallagher was able to retire as a Navy SEAL, with his Trident insignia."
