According to CNN, Hegseth has now sacked multiple top officers across the Army, Navy, Air Force and Space Force who previously led those services’ legal branches — often after they gave legal advice that included concerns about Trump administration policies.

One such officer was Lt. Gen. Joe Berger, formerly the Army’s top uniformed attorney.

Berger reportedly raised questions about a series of early decisions Hegseth made after being sworn in this past January, including the legality of using Texas National Guard personnel for civilian immigration enforcement and the mass firings carried out early in the Trump administration by the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency.
