Trump puts more Cabinet members on chopping block as Pete Hegseth axes two additional Army officers

Donald Trump was considering firing additional members of his Cabinet on Thursday night, following the ouster of Attorney General Pam Bondi, a report said.

The president has been unhappy with the work of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, according to Politico.

'He’s very angry and he’s going to be moving people,' an administration official told the outlet. 

Meanwhile, The Atlantic reported that FBI Director Kash Patel and Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll could also be on their way out.

The developments came after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth fired the senior-most uniformed officer in the Army, General Randy George.

Hegseth continued his purge of the Army on Thursday night. 

The Pentagon confirmed to The Daily Mail that two more high-level members of the Army had been fired: General David Hodne, head of the Army Transformation and Training Command; and Major General William Green Jr, the head of the Army's chaplain corps. 

Sources clarified to Politico that none of the cabinet members' statuses have been decided but Lutnick was said to be on 'thin ice' and his firing would send a message to Americans that Trump was working to fix the economy. 

However, another source fiercely refuted that Lutnick was in trouble, saying that they 'haven’t heard anyone suggest there’s been any change at Commerce. Everyone is thrilled with the job Howard has done.' 

Trump was believed to be targeting Cabinet members who have 'underperformed or who have generated too much negative attention.'
