And, there goes another one.
Less than a week after the U.S. election, the President announced he terminated the U.S. Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper, via twitter. Christopher Miller, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, will take over as acting defense secretary.
I am pleased to announce that Christopher C. Miller, the highly respected Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (unanimously confirmed by the Senate), will be Acting Secretary of Defense, effective immediately..
