Trump adviser expects 'more' sackings

A consultant to President Trump's administration has said the sacking of Acting Attorney General Sally Yates is not unusual and that she expects "quite a few more".

Sally Yates, who was appointed by Barack Obama, was fired after ordering justice department lawyers not to enforce the president's executive order.

Speaking to Martha Kearney Jan Halper-Hayes said there are "at least 20 to 30 percent of career service individuals who have said they're either thinking about retiring, quitting, that they will thwart his [President Trump's] policies."
