Trump names Adam Telle as acting Army secretary
President Donald Trump appointed Adam Telle as the acting Army secretary on Thursday, following the resignation of Dan Driscoll. Driscoll's departure was due to reported tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Telle, who currently serves as the assistant secretary of the Army for civil works, has over two decades of experience working with Republican senators and in the White House during Trump's first term.
He is known for his strong and whip-smart nature, as Trump described him in a Truth Social post. Driscoll, a friend of Vice President JD Vance, had good relationships with both Republicans and Democrats in Congress before his resignation. The U.S. military is currently engaged in conflict with Iran, and Telle will oversee the nation's largest fighting force during this time.
