During Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s monthslong hold on general officer nominations in 2023, he reposted on social media a list from the conservative group American Accountability Foundation singling out officers who espoused what the group alleged as “woke” values. 

Chatfield was singled out in part because of a presentation she gave on Women’s Equality Day in 2015 that included a slide that said “investing in gender equality and women’s empowerment can unlock human potential on a transformational scale.”

Support AAF’s newest initiative – Project Sovereignty 2025 – where we are exposing high-ranking civil servants within DHS and DOJ who are likely to thwart an incoming conservative administration’s immigration agenda. By shining a spotlight on these potential impediments, we can ensure that we push back on the obstructive forces in the bureaucracy which protects our nation’s integrity and future.

Exposing the Truth behind People & Policies

For too long conservatives have allowed DC bureaucrats and leftist organizations to subvert, obstruct, and sabotage the America First agenda. American Accountability Foundation (AAF) deploys aggressive research and investigations to expose and neutralize these efforts. Every day, our work is exposing the truth behind the people and groups undermining American democracy and threatening the freedoms of the American people.

The AAF’s executive director and co-founder, Tom Jones, previously worked for Republican senators Ron JohnsonTed Cruz (directing opposition research for Cruz’s 2016 presidential campaign), Jim DeMint, and John Ensign. Its other co-founder, Matthew Buckham, worked in the White House Presidential Personnel Office during the first Trump presidency.[2] The New Yorker described the AAF as a dark money group[3] (“a politically active, tax-exempt nonprofit charity that doesn’t disclose its backers”) that is an offshoot of another such group, the Conservative Partnership Institute, which employed Mark Meadows after he left the Trump administration.[2][4]

The AAF describes itself as a “charitable and educational organization that conducts non-partisan governmental oversight research and fact-checking so Americans can hold their elected leaders accountable”.[5] Jones told Fox News in April 2021 that he aimed to “take a big handful of sand and throw it in the gears of the Biden administration”.[2][6]

WASHINGTON, April 8 (Reuters) – Democratic lawmakers on Tuesday sharply criticized President Donald Trump’s administration and said it was harming national security, after Reuters reported the firing of U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield, who held a senior position in NATO.

Reuters first reported on Monday that Chatfield, the U.S. military representative to the NATO Military Committee and one of only a handful of female Navy three-star officers, had been fired.

The Pentagon on Tuesday said that U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had removed Chatfield “due to a loss of confidence in her ability to lead.”

But Democratic lawmakers said there was no justifiable reason for her removal.

U.S. Senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Chatfield was fired for “clearly political reasons.”

“Will Republican senators ever find a voice to stand up for our national security or is this purge going to be able to continue without any consequences,” Warner said in a video on X.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said the Trump administration was harming national security.

“Secretary Hegseth has once again made Americans less safe in pursuit of his political ideology. Vice Admiral Chatfield is extraordinarily well-qualified and there is no reasonable justification for her removal,” Gillibrand said in a statement.

Chatfield was the first woman to lead the Naval War College, a job she held until 2023.

The firing is the latest to rock the Pentagon after Thursday’s removal of General Timothy Haugh, the head of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command. For the Navy, it follows the firing of its top officer, Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the first woman to become Chief of Naval Operations.

One source had told Reuters that the motive for Chatfield’s removal may have been related to the Pentagon’s crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

Hegseth has made the elimination of DEI initiatives a priority, arguing they are divisive.

The Pentagon on Tuesday confirmed Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield has been removed from her position as the U.S. military representative to NATO’s military committee, making her at least the ninth senior military officer forced out by the Trump administration

“Secretary [Pete] Hegseth has removed U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield from her position as U.S. representative to NATO’s military committee due to a loss of confidence in her ability to lead,” Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement. “The Defense Department is grateful for her many years of military service.” 

The military committee at NATO is made up of senior military officers, usually three-star admirals or generals, from NATO member countries who represent their chiefs of defense.

Chatfield had been targeted in the past for comments she made about diversity, equity and inclusion. During Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s monthslong hold on general officer nominations in 2023, he reposted on social media a list from the conservative group American Accountability Foundation singling out officers who espoused what the group alleged as “woke” values.

Chatfield’s firing marks at least the ninth firing of a senior military officer and the fourth female senior officer forced out by the Trump administration. 

Others already fired include Adm. Linda Fagan, the commandant of the Coast Guard; Gen. C.Q. Brown Jr, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs; Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the Chief of Naval Operations; Gen. James Slife, the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force; Lt. Gen. Joseph B. Berger III, Judge Advocate General of the Army; Lt. Gen. Charles Plummer, Judge Advocate General of the Air Force; Lt Gen. Jennifer Short, Senior Military Assistant to the Secretary of Defense; Gen. Timothy Haugh, Director of the National Security Agency and head of U.S. Cyber Command. 

Democratic Sen. Mark Warner posted on social media that he is “deeply disturbed” by Chatfield’s firing.

“Trump’s relentless attacks on our alliances and his careless dismissal of decorated military officials make us less safe and weaken our position across the world,” Warner said. 

Hegseth, even before he was President Trump’s pick to lead the Pentagon, had advocated for firing any officers involved in diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. 

“First of all, you’ve got to fire the chairman of the Joint Chiefs,” Hegseth said on ‘The Shawn Ryan Show’ last November. “But any general that was involved — general, admiral, whatever — that was involved in any of the DEI woke s*** has got to go.” 

Chatfield, according to her biography from the Navy, graduated from Boston University in 1987 and went on to become a helicopter pilot, flying SH-3, CH-46D, and MH-60S. She later commanded the Helicopter Combat Support Squadron HC-5 and Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron HSC-25 as well as led a joint provincial reconstruction team in Farah Province, Afghanistan, in 2008. 

Her most recent assignment, before heading to NATO, was president of the Naval War College, where she was the first woman to hold the position. 

Chatfield’s firing also comes as the Trump administration weighs plans about the footprint of U.S. forces in Europe and is pressuring members of NATO to spend more on their own defense. 

“We have not said in any way that we’re abandoning our allies in Europe,” Hegseth said in February during a visit to Europe, adding that there had been no decisions on troop levels. 

“But there is a recognition that the ambitions of the communist Chinese are a threat to free people everywhere, to include America’s interests in the Pacific,” Hegseth said in February.
