Donald Trump has ordered the firing of Secret Service director Randolph “Tex” Alles, according to the White House, amid a shake-up in the upper echelon of the Department of Homeland Security.
Key points:

The White House said Mr Trump has selected career Secret Service official James Murray to lead the agency
Mr Alles’s departure stems from a personality conflict within the service, three officials say
Mr Alles’s removal comes amid a Homeland Security overhaul that began last week

The firing was part of “a near-systematic purge happening at the nation’s second-largest national security agency”, CNN reported one official saying.
