Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has come out swinging following reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is itching to fire him and replace him with a close ally.
There’s been friction between Driscoll, who is a close friend of Vice President JD Vance, and Hegseth for at least a year, dating back to when the defense secretary was facing several scandals and Driscoll’s name was being floated as a possible replacement.
In the fall, Trump sidelined Hegseth and sent Driscoll to Kyiv to play a leading role in talks to end the war in Ukraine. The White House has also made it clear that despite their differences, the defense secretary must keep Driscoll in his post for now.
