President Trump announced the firing of four high-profile presidential appointees just after midnight Tuesday, including a top envoy to Iran during his first term, Brian Hook, and retired Gen.

Former President Donald Trump has announced plans to remove over 1,000 appointees from previous administrations, citing misalignment with his agenda. Among those affected are notable figures such as celebrity chef Jose Andres and former General Mark Milley.

Trump’s commitment to thousands of changes is in line with his continued pledge to rid the federal government of employees he views as disloyal.

He began by dismissing four people: retired Gen. Mark Milley from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council; celebrity chef José Andrés from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition; Brian Hook from the Wilson Center for Scholars; and Keisha Lance Bottoms, former mayor of Atlanta, from the President’s Export Council.
