SHE’S OUT! First Trump official gone after defying his orders…

Her exit became more than a staffing change; it turned into a litmus test for what loyalty really means in Trump-era politics. Those close to her describe a professional who believed her duty was to the law and the institution, not to any single directive. When that conviction collided with expectations of unquestioned obedience, there was only going to be one survivor. The message, they say, was unmistakable: hesitate, question, or resist, and you are expendable.
