The Trump administration is sacking a trio of top military lawyers — with multiple firings coming down Friday — because it doesn’t want them to be “roadblocks to anything that happens” over the next four years, according to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

“We want lawyers who give sound constitutional advice,” Hegseth told Shannon Bream on Fox News Sunday in response to the firings of three judge advocates general aka “JAGs” for the Army, Navy and Air Force. “And don’t exist to attempt to be roadblocks to anything that happens in their spots.”
