White House reviews candidates to replace Pentagon No. 2 Steve Feinberg
Sources did not say why the White House was reviewing potential replacements and did not specify which candidates the it was considering.
The White House has been exploring candidates who could potentially replace Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg, according to three individuals familiar with the discussions. This indicates that additional leadership changes might be on the horizon for the Pentagon, which has experienced an unusually high turnover rate. The review process began in June and involved discussions with Senate lawmakers to gauge the administration's picks' chances of being confirmed, one of the sources added that the review was still ongoing as of late August.
It remains unclear when the White House first started considering candidates, and no decision has been made to remove Feinberg from his position. The reasons behind the White House's review of potential replacements and the specific candidates being considered were not disclosed by the sources.
