Resign or be fired: Sean Spicer & Kellyanne Conway among 11 Trump appointees Biden is PURGING from military academy boards
The Biden administration has told 11 Trump administration officials – including Sean Spicer, Kellyanne Conway, H.R. McMaster and Douglas Macgregor – to resign or be fired from advisory boards of US military academies.
Before leaving the White House, President Donald Trump had appointed a number of his administration officials to advisory boards at the US Military Academy at West Point, the Naval Academy in Annapolis and the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. The current White House personnel office has just sent 11 of them a letter, telling them to resign or be “terminated” as of Wednesday evening.
Sean Spicer, former White House press secretary and another member of the Naval Academy Board of Visitors, (NABV), also shared his letter and said he would be responding on his TV show, scheduled for the 6 pm deadline on Wednesday.
Instead of focusing on the stranded Americans left in #Afghanistan, President Biden is trying to terminate the Trump appointees to the Naval Academy, West Point and Air Force Academy.My response tonight on #SpicerandCo at 6pm on @newsmaxpic.twitter.com/p1SpyipvIm

Russell Vought, who headed the Office of Management and Budget under Trump, shared a screenshot of his letter on Twitter and refused to resign from the NABV, saying he was appointed to a three-year term.
Citizens for Renewing America, a NGO Vought leads, says President Joe Biden does not have the power to fire these advisers.
At a time when we have hostages on the ground, Biden uses this time to pick a political fight and fire our president @russvought from the board of the US Naval Academy. A power he does NOT have. https://t.co/41suRcHQ53
