The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Donald Trump named Adam Telle, the assistant secretary of the Army for civil works, as acting Army secretary on Thursday, effective immediately, after Dan Driscoll resigned. Driscoll, who had served as the Army’s civilian leader since February 2025, tendered his resignation Monday and had his last official day Wednesday amid reported tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move bypassed Under Secretary of the Army Mike Obadal, the service’s No. 2 civilian official. Telle previously spent more than 20 years working for Republican senators and served in the White House during Trump’s first term.
