US DOW plans to replace Hegseth deputy Feinberg
The White House is considering candidates to potentially replace Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg, signaling more leadership change for the Pentagon already facing high staff turnover. The review, which began in June, includes conversations with Senate lawmakers about confirmation support for the administration's picks, though no decision has been made.
The White House maintains no intention to remove Feinberg, praising his work in military operations and the Defense Industrial Base. The Pentagon also denies a replacement process and supports Feinberg, who has been criticized for unsuccessful munitions production and conflicts of interest.
