President Donald Trump fired Secret Service Director Randolph Alles on Monday, according to ABC News, which reported that a law enforcement official stated Alles was informed of the decision roughly two weeks ago. CNBC added, “Alles ‘will be leaving shortly,’ White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says, adding that President Donald Trump ‘has selected James M. Murray, a career member of the USSS, to take over as director beginning in May.'”
The officials also intimated that the decision to fire Alles, who reported directly to the head of the Department of Homeland Security, was part of the ongoing change of personnel at that department, and was not related to the alleged intrusion that occurred last weekend at Trump’s resort Mar-a-Lago. Another official reported that two more officials will leave their jobs imminently, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Francis Cissna and John Mitnick of the Office of the General Counsel.
