White House reviews candidates to replace Hegseth deputy Feinberg, sources say
The White House has been reviewing potential candidates to replace Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg, according to three sources, although no decision has been made to remove him.
The White House is currently evaluating potential candidates to replace Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg, according to three sources familiar with the matter. No decision has been made to remove Feinberg from his position. The review began in June and includes discussions with Senate lawmakers about the likelihood of the administration's picks being confirmed.
The White House has not specified which candidates they are considering. Feinberg, a billionaire co-founder of Cerberus Capital Management, has been tasked with accelerating US munitions production but has not yet met that goal. The Pentagon denies a process is underway to replace Feinberg, and Hegseth, Feinberg's boss, stated Feinberg has his full support and isn't going anywhere.
