Former House speaker Newt Gingrich appeared to give air to rumours that Donald Trump and his allies plan to purge the federal workforce of people who are not personally loyal to Mr Trump should the ex-president retake the White House in 2024.
The ex-congressman and longtime Trump supporter was speaking on Monday at the America First Agenda Summit, a gathering of Trump supporters in Washington DC where the ex-president himself is set to speak Tuesday in his first address in Washington DC since the January 6 attack on Congress.
