The Weekly Break Out Ep. 8: The state of Trump’s Pentagon nominees
The Trump administration is slowly inching towards having its top civilians at the Pentagon. Plus, what to expect at this week’s Air and Space Forces Association conference.
This week, Aaron Mehta and Valerie Insinna take stock of the Defense Department’s top four civilian nominees. Daniel Driscoll is in as Army secretary, but what about his Navy counterpart, John Phelan? What did Steven Feinberg, the deputy secretary nominee, say at his hearing? And why are senators raising questions about the relationship between Elon Musk and Troy Mienk, the Air Force Secretary nominee?
Later, Aaron and Val discuss what to expect from the annual Air and Space Forces Association Warfare Symposium out in Colorado — coverage of which you can read by clicking here.
