2. Didn't someone in the Nuclear arena recently resign or get fired?

I can't remember her name. Wonder if she disagreed with this negotiation and that's why she's gone now?


found this -

Lisa Gordon-Hagerty, who headed the National Nuclear Security Administration that oversees national security sites in Nevada and New Mexico, has resigned from her position, according to the Department of Energy.

The resignation of Gordon-Hagerty followed a clash with Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette, who apparently said President Donald Trump has lost confidence in her, according to Bloomberg. The White House declined to comment.

Gordon-Hagerty, as administrator, oversaw the modernization of NNSA’s infrastructure and its workforce. She also made significant strides in improving NNSA management and dedication to the 50,000 men and women serving in the national security workforce, the NNSA release stated.
