Past work for Liz Cheney cost a ‘sherpa’ his Trump transition role

Politico  

Still, the ouster appeared to be further evidence of efforts within the president-elect’s orbit to purge Republicans who have supported outspoken critics like Cheney, who voted to impeach Trump and served on the House Jan. 6 committee. “I was happy to pitch in, Ratcliffe will make a great CIA director and I’m looking forward to President Trump’s term,” Allen said in a text message to POLITICO after the story published. “There are all sorts of purity tests in this new administration, more so than in the first term,” said one of the people familiar with Allen’s ouster. Before joining the private sector, Allen worked on legislative affairs, counter-proliferation strategy and homeland security issues in the George W. Bush White House and as majority staff director on the House Intelligence Committee.
