A shakeup at the pentagon, the top official at the navy has been forced to resign over the way he handled the war crimes case of a navy s. E. A. L. , clashing with the white house. Navy secretary Richard Spencer is accused of going behind his bosss back after President Trump intervened in the case. This morning Navy SecretaryRichard Spencer is out of a job, forced out over the handling of the war crimes case involving navy s. E. A. L. Eddie gallagher. Defense secretary mark esper saying in a statement, i have determined that secretary spencer no longer has my confidence to continue in his position. Gallagher was acquitted by a military court of war crimes in the killing of a teenage isis prisoner in iraq but was convicted for illegally posing with the teens corpse. He was then demoted in rank, sparking a controversy, pitting the Trump Administration against the u. S. Navy. The president intervened in the case last week, ordering the navy to promote gallagher back to his rank, restoring his pay and pension.
