The Senate overwhelmingly confirmed Donald Trump's nominee to be Defense secretary, Mark Esper, giving the Pentagon a permanent leader for the first time in nearly seven months
The Senate overwhelmingly confirmed President Donald Trump's nominee to be Defense secretary, Mark Esper, on Tuesday, giving the Pentagon a permanent leader for the first time in nearly seven months.
On the Senate floor, Armed Services Chairman Jim Inhofe praised Esper as "the right man for the job." The two sparred over Esper's ethics agreement, with Warren arguing the nominee hadn't done enough to guard against potential conflicts of interest — similar to an exchange they had during his 2017 confirmation hearing to be Army secretary.
He's also pledged to shore up U.S. alliances, make tough trade-offs to modernize the military and continue efforts to reform the Pentagon bureaucracy.
