Secretary of Defense Mark Esper has been pushing back on President Donald Trump since 2019, which is important context for today’s firing, senior administration officials tell CNN.

1/
2/ Esper was among those administration officials in 2019 who urged Trump to release the aid to Ukraine, as we (and others) reported last Fall.

Trump was using the aid as leverage for dirt on the Biden family.

3/ Esper also cautioned Trump not to completely pull troops out of northern Syria, and after the Lafayette Square mishap, was extra careful to try to keep the US military out of the realm of the President's political desires, senior administration officials tell CNN.

On Tuesday at around 1:45 a.m. local time, in southern Niger, US citizen named Philipe Nathan Walton was kidnapped by 6 men with AK-47s on motorbikes, per media. The armed kidnappers called his father, who lives about a mile away, and demanded ransom, a local official said.

1/
2/ It was unclear if the kidnappers were members of the Islamic State or another terrorist group, but there's always the risk that even if they weren't extremists, the kidnappers might sell a hostage to such a group. There are several foreigners being held hostage in Niger.
3/ The Pentagon then flew members of the US Navy's elite SEAL Team 6 to the region, a US official with knowledge of the operation tells @barbarastarrcnn.

Early this morning they conducted a hostage rescue operation to save Walton.

Since twitter has locked out the NYPost for violating rules that no longer stand as rules (but twitter won't revisit past enforcement decisions) the NY Post COULD end this standoff by deleting the tweets that broke the rules (thus unlocking its account) then tweet them out again
2/ I asked a twitter exec if this was possible, he said yes and it would end the whole thing. Probably take 15 seconds.
3/ And yes twitter could end this immediately as well given that these rules are no longer rules. I’m just suggesting a possible way to end this. ✌️
