A three-star admiral was fired as director of the Navy staff after a Pentagon investigation concluded that he had lied during questioning about whether he had an inappropriate relationship while working at the White House in 1990, officials said Monday. Vice Adm. John Stufflebeem, a career naval aviator, was relieved of his duties last week by the service's top officer, Adm. Gary Roughead, according to Capt. Frank Thorp, a Navy spokesman. The investigation's findings, which have not been made public, are under review by the Navy. Pending the outcome, Stufflebeem remains a member of Roughead's staff, but at a two-star level, Thorp said.
