A top aide to Pete Hegseth informed a senior Army official that President Donald Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events, according to a report.
Ricky Buria, chief of staff to the defense secretary, made the shocking remark to Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll last summer while blasting the promotion of Maj. Gen. Antoinette Gant to lead the Military District of Washington, sources told The New York Times.
In the role, Gant—who is Black—would perform ceremonial duties in Washington, D.C., including appearing alongside Trump at Arlington National Cemetery.
