The Trump administration apparently fired the heads of the agencies who oversee the nuclear weapons stockpile, electricity and natural gas, and overseas aid shortly after the voting counts were posted. As reported by the New York Post, Lisa Gordon, Bonnie Glick, and Neil Chatterjee were all forced to resign as of Friday. However, Chatterjee will remain as an agency commissioner and he says the termination was a form of retaliation by President Trump after they disagreed with certain policies regarding climate change.
“I have obviously been out there promoting a conservative, market-based approach to carbon mitigation and sending signals the commission is open to considering a carbon price, and perhaps that led to this. Quite frankly, if, in fact, this was retribution for my independence, I am quite proud of that.”

The White House did not comment on the terminations and there were no further details if there would be more firings amid the election results.
