Trump fired McMaster during his first term in 2018, saying on a tweet at that time that McMaster “will always remain my friend.”
But since then, McMaster has been a vocal critic of the president, calling him an “extremely disruptive person” and criticizing Trump’s relationship with Russian president Vladimir Putin.
A day before the wrong phone call, Trump criticized McMaster on social networks as a “weak and totally ineffective loser” after the former advisor questioned Trump’s motives with the Russian leader in an interview with “60 minutes.”
The White House Communications director Steven Cheung, told News McMaster, has “been done.”
“HR McMaster has completely made itself its third category book, which is now sold in the negotiation container of the fiction section of a discount bookstore, it is full of lies in a useless attempt to rehabilitate its reputation made Jirons,” said Cheung.
McMaster did not respond to a request for comments from News.
The same month as the phone call, another security failure occurred after Trump’s current national security advisor Mike Waltz sent a text message to war plans in a group of signal group where the Atlantic editor had accidentally included.
The Washington Post also reported that Waltz used his personal Gmail account for government communications.
The National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes, told The Post that Waltz “did not do so and did not send information classified in an open account.”
