White House reviews candidates to replace Hegseth deputy Feinberg, sources say
According to the Washington Post, Hegseth blamed Feinberg for letting stockpiles of long-range guided missiles and air-defense interceptors shrink.
The White House is considering candidates to replace US Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg, according to sources. This move comes as the Pentagon faces unusually high staff turnover. The review, which began in June, includes discussions with senior lawmakers about potential candidates' chances of confirmation. However, no decision has been made to remove Feinberg from his position, and the White House has not specified which candidates they are considering. The Pentagon denied the reports and stated that Feinberg is not going anywhere.
