Jen Easterly's West Point Appointment Revoked Following Criticism
Jen Easterly, a former cybersecurity official, was supposed to teach at West Point, a military school.
But her job offer was taken back after a political activist criticized her.
The activist claimed Easterly was against former President Trump.
As a result, the Army decided to cancel her position, stop outside groups from choosing teachers and review how West Point hires people.
Jen Easterly's appointment to a West Point faculty position was revoked.
The revocation followed criticism from far-right activist Laura Loomer.
Loomer accused Easterly of undermining former President Donald Trump.
The Army Secretary directed West Point to cancel the service agreement and review hiring.
Easterly previously served as cybersecurity chief under the Biden administration.
