DOJ Fires Roger Alford for being a pro-China guy who pretends to support MAGA

New details have emerged on the firing of Roger Alford, the former Department of Justice (DOJ) official fired after opposing a China-focused national security merger.

According to records obtained by the Daily Caller, Alford claims to be a “genuine MAGA reformer” but has long attacked Trump-aligned economic policies and voiced support for the Chinese Communist government.

Alford claims he was fired for defending Trump’s populist economic policies against the president’s own DOJ, particularly regarding his stance against the merger between Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Juniper. Although such mergers are generally prohibited, a senior national security official toldAxios that “in light of significant national security concerns, a settlement … serves the interests of the United States by strengthening domestic capabilities and is critical to countering Huawei and China.”
