Trump-Hating Russia Hoax Investigator Fired As Top NSA Lawyer
DailyWire.com ^ | Jul 30, 2025 | Luke Rosiak

The National Security Agency removed its top lawyer after The Daily Wire exposed her past work investigating President Donald Trump for Democrats and penning op-eds praising censorship and defending the intelligence community’s treatment of Trump associates like Carter Page.

The intelligence agency’s webpage listing April Doss as general counsel was deleted and “multiple former officials” told The New York Times that Doss had been removed. The removal shows that, after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said documents show a conspiracy of “manufactured intelligence” to sabotage the president, the Trump administration is taking steps to ensure that people involved in the discredited probe are not still actively working in key roles.

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), when serving as the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence panel, hired Doss to tie Trump to Russia. Warner lashed out at her firing, further illustrating her close ties to Democrats.

“We should be outraged by the firing of April Doss, a deeply principled public servant, apparently for the role that she played in the Senate Intelligence Committee’s bipartisan investigation into Russian election interference,” Warner said, according to NBC. “Her dismissal appears to be the result of a politically motivated smear campaign driven by a far-right conspiracy theorist, not any legitimate concern about her conduct or qualifications.”

The Daily Wire’s July 23 story showed how Doss had repeatedly made mistakes by advocating for the might of the security state to clamp down on “misinformation” in cases where she turned out to be wrong. That included using criticism of vaccines as justification for crackdowns and blaming Republican “extremists” for a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, where there is evidence that federal assets actually entrapped the suspects.

Doss falsely accused Trump — until this week her boss — of...

You can fire everyone when you're elected President King.

You can devote all of your waking time on only that.

You can forget all of the reasons you were elected.

The mess Biden left the country in, the economy, taxes, environment, regulations, The border, etc...

Just concentrate on who of the multitudes of government employees, political hacks you can fire.

Welcome to the real world, outraged Senator Warner, where nobody is guaranteed a lifetime job, and anyone can be fired for fouling the nest, such as forming an insurgency against the big boss.

Lets hope Mark Warners clumsily “ secret” attempt to contact a Russian oligarch as a back channel to get more dirt on the dirty dossier….will come to light as one of the active co conspirators in the coup attempt.

I believe he can do your whole list at the same time. He is an unusually talented fellow.

Maybe it took so long, because the file on this lawyer was under the Epstein file on Bondi’s desk.

I am unable to believe any defense that lib dems, Obama and his FBI/CIA, Hillary Clinton, etc put forth due to their history of blatant lying and hypocrisy and seething hatred for Donald Trump and by extension the vast majority of American citizens. IDGAF what lib dems say anymore. Tulsi, Cash, Kristi, Tom...all of you Conservative Republican warriors. You have my permission to continue to bring this war to the lib dems footsteps and clasp them all in irons!

It’s going to be interesting to see how many women get caught up in this and convicted. Women’s prisons should have plenty of space for these traitors.

April Falcon Doss was removed as NSA General Counsel on July 29, 2025, following a July 23, 2025, Daily Wire investigation that highlighted her role as Senior Minority Counsel for the Senate Intelligence Committee’s Russia investigation from 2017 to 2018, her public anti-Trump statements, and her advocacy for censorship measures. Several factors likely contributed to the delay in her firing despite her controversial background: Quiet Appointment in 2022: Doss was appointed NSA General Counsel in May 2022 during the Biden administration. The NSA deliberately kept her hiring low-profile to avoid scrutiny from Capitol Hill Republicans, as her partisan history could have sparked backlash, especially given Democrats’ prior objections to a Trump appointee, Michael Ellis, for the same role in 2020. This secrecy allowed Doss to remain in her position without immediate attention.

Civil Service Protections: The NSA General Counsel role is a career civil service position, intended to be apolitical and protected from abrupt political firings. These protections, combined with bureaucratic inertia, likely shielded Doss from immediate removal when the Trump administration took office in 2025, as personnel changes in such roles often require justification or a triggering event.

Delayed Exposure: Doss’s past work on the Senate’s Russia investigation and her public statements—such as calling for Trump’s social media ban over “insurrection” and defending intelligence actions against Trump associates—were not widely publicized until the Daily Wire’s report. This investigation, amplified by conservative activist Laura Loomer on X, brought renewed scrutiny to her role, prompting swift action within days.

Political and Administrative Priorities: The Trump administration’s focus on purging perceived “deep state” actors intensified in 2025, particularly after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released documents alleging politicized intelligence against Trump. Earlier, the administration may not have prioritized Doss’s role or been fully aware of her history, as their attention was on higher-profile NSA leadership changes, such as the firing of Gen. Timothy Haugh in April 2025.

Congressional and Media Dynamics: The NSA’s initial reluctance to publicize Doss’s 2022 hiring stemmed from Democrats’ successful blocking of Trump’s appointee, Michael Ellis, in 2020, citing politicization. This double standard meant Doss’s appointment avoided similar scrutiny, allowing her to serve for over three years until conservative media and activists forced the issue.

The rapid firing—within a week of the Daily Wire report—suggests that the delay was primarily due to her low-profile appointment and the lack of earlier public or political pressure, rather than any deliberate decision to retain her. Once her history was exposed, the Trump administration acted quickly to align with its broader agenda of removing officials tied to the Russia investigation.
