Cibias News: After the heavy defeat of the Republicans, Trump asks his advisers whether Hogst should stay or go. After the Republicans' disastrous losses in the midterm elections, Trump asked his advisers in phone calls whether or not Secretary of War Pete Hogst should remain in office. Some White House aides predict that some of the blame for the losses will fall on Admiral Brad Cooper (Central Command) and General Dan Cain (Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff), both of whom played a large role in directing the war against Iran.
