Trump Ousts Official Over Ties to ‘Anonymous’ Author

“The White House ousted a top customs official earlier this week primarily because of his alleged connections to the author of a 2018 opinion piece critical of President Donald Trump,” the Washington Post reports.

“George Bogden, who was appointed executive director of the Office of Trade Relations at Customs and Border Protection this year, was asked to step down, surprising fellow administration officials.”

“It wasn’t immediately clear how the administration connected Bogden to Miles Taylor, who had been an appointee at the Department of Homeland Security when he wrote an anonymous opinion piece in the New York Times describing internal resistance to Trump during his first term.”
