The National Security Agency removed its top lawyer after The Daily Wire exposed her past work investigating President Donald Trump for Democrats and penning op-eds praising censorship and defending the intelligence community’s treatment of Trump associates like Carter Page.
The intelligence agency’s webpage listing April Doss as general counsel was deleted and “multiple former officials” told The New York Times that Doss had been removed. The removal shows that, after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said documents show a conspiracy of “manufactured intelligence” to sabotage the president, the Trump administration is taking steps to ensure that people involved in the discredited probe are not still actively working in key roles.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), when serving as the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence panel, hired Doss to tie Trump to Russia. Warner lashed out at her firing, further illustrating her close ties to Democrats.
“We should be outraged by the firing of April Doss, a deeply principled public servant, apparently for the role that she played in the Senate Intelligence Committee’s bipartisan investigation into Russian election interference,” Warner said, according to NBC. “Her dismissal appears to be the result of a politically motivated smear campaign driven by a far-right conspiracy theorist, not any legitimate concern about her conduct or qualifications.”
The Daily Wire’s July 23 story showed how Doss had repeatedly made mistakes by advocating for the might of the security state to clamp down on “misinformation” in cases where she turned out to be wrong. That included using criticism of vaccines as justification for crackdowns and blaming Republican “extremists” for a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, where there is evidence that federal assets actually entrapped the suspects.
Doss falsely accused Trump — until this week her boss — of causing an “insurrection,” despite no one being charged with such a crime, and said the January 6 protest was “deadly,” a reference to the false claims that protesters had killed police there. She also defended the treatment of Michael Flynn and Carter Page.
