Donald Trump has appointed Adam Telle as the acting army secretary following the resignation of Daniel Driscoll. This change comes amid reports of tensions between Driscoll and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Background on Adam Telle
Telle is currently serving as the assistant secretary of the army for civil works and has a history of working with Trump. He previously held the position of special assistant to the president for legislative affairs during Trump's first term.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump praised Telle, stating, "He is a Great Patriot, who is respected by all."
Departure of Daniel Driscoll
Driscoll's resignation this week as the army's top civilian official was unexpected, as he did not provide a reason for his departure. Reports indicate that he had clashes with Hegseth, and several of Driscoll's allies within the army were removed by Trump's Pentagon chief earlier this year.
