PoliticsTrump makes surprising pick to lead Army after secretary resigns

President Donald Trump named Adam Telle, a civilian leader of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as acting Army secretary on Thursday after Dan Driscoll’s departure. The choice was unexpected because it bypassed the Army’s second-ranking official, who would normally assume the role, amid widespread reports of tensions between Driscoll and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
