1:45Now PlayingFormer President Donald Trump called on the Biden administration to fire Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin after he failed to inform the White House that he was hospitalized as wars continue to rage in Gaza and Ukraine. NY Post reporter Melissa Koenig shares this story.

“He has performed poorly and should have been dismissed along with ‘General’ Mark Milley, for many reasons, but in particular, the catastrophic surrender in Afghanistan, perhaps the most embarrassing moment in the history of our Country,” Trump added.
