President Donald Trump has appointed Adam Telle as the new acting Army secretary, marking a significant shift in the service’s senior leadership. Trump announced on Thursday that Telle would assume the role immediately, praising him as “a Great Patriot, who is respected by all.” Previously serving as the assistant secretary of the Army for civil works, Telle brings experience to his new position.
Telle steps in to replace Dan Driscoll, who resigned this week from his role as the Army’s top civilian official. Driscoll had posted on social media late Tuesday, indicating that Wednesday would be his final full day as Army secretary, although he did not disclose any specific reasons for his decision to leave.
Driscoll’s resignation follows weeks of rumors suggesting he might step down due to disagreements with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The situation remains fluid, and further updates are expected as developments unfold.
This remains a breaking story, with more details to come.
