[FoxNews] Army Secretary Dan Driscoll announced Wednesday he had directed the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to rescind a leadership offer extended to former Biden appointee Jen Easterly.
Easterly, a former Army intelligence officer who helped establish the U.S. Cyber Command at the National Security Agency (NSA), served as U.S. director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) during the Biden administration.
The move comes after leaked internal emails from Big Tech firms showed censorship pressure from the government during the COVID-19 pandemic.
After a subpoena from House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, major tech companies, including Google's parent, Alphabet; Amazon; Apple; Meta; and Microsoft, were investigated for allegedly censoring free speech relating to COVID-19 and vaccines, regardless of accuracy, under pressure from the Biden administration.
Internal communications showed some tech executives pushed back, while others complied.
Easterly was previously deployed to Iraq to investigate how murderous Moslems were using communication technology for recruitment and radicalization.
In a copy of the memo posted to X, Driscoll ordered West Point to terminate the "gratuitous" service agreement with Easterly, noting she will no longer serve as the Robert F. McDermott Distinguished Chair in the Department of Social Sciences.
