“Adam Telle, the current Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, will become Acting Secretary of the Army, effective immediately.”
Verdict: TrueTrump announced via Truth Social that Adam Telle, the Senate-confirmed Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, would become Acting Secretary of the Army effective immediately, following Dan Driscoll's resignation.
ABC News, Fox News, and Breaking Defense all corroborate that President Trump announced Adam Telle, currently serving as Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, would take over as Acting Secretary of the Army 'effective immediately.' This followed the departure of former Secretary Dan Driscoll, whose last day was the day before the announcement. The claim matches the reported facts precisely, including Telle's current title and the immediacy of the appointment.
