The new head of the Department of Defense (DoD) said Friday that the U.S. military hasn’t been compromised in any way since President Donald Trump fired former Pentagon chief Mark Esper several days after Election Day.
“I want to assure the American public and our allies and partners that the Department of Defense remains strong and continues its vital work of protecting our homeland, our people and our interests around the world,” Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller said while meeting with his Lithuanian counterpart.
