White House Reviews Candidates to Replace Hegseth Deputy Feinberg, Sources Say
The review comes amid unusually high Pentagon turnover and Senate concerns about Feinberg’s confirmation prospects and conflicts of interest.
- The White House has reviewed candidates to potentially replace Deputy Secretary Feinberg, three people familiar with the discussions told Reuters, though no decision has been made to remove him from his post.
- President Trump expressed frustration with the six-month-old Iran war, and Defense Pete Hegseth allegedly blamed Feinberg for shrinking stockpiles of long-range guided missiles during a Camp David meeting earlier this month.
- Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigned this week following months of tension with Hegseth, while The Pentagon denied any replacement process for Feinberg was under way.
- White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly called the report "fake news," while Defense Secretary Hegseth said Feinberg "has worked tirelessly to rebuild our Defense Industrial Base" and "isn't going anywhere."
- Senator Elizabeth Warren raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest between Feinberg and his former firm Cerberus Capital Management, while critics argue The Pentagon's industrial base cannot ramp up as quickly as intended.
