He was a relative non-entity in security discussions on Iran, North Korea and elsewhere, even as Mr Trump contemplated launching military strikes on the former. He resigned from the government this week after therevealed serious incidents of domestic violence in Mr Shanahan’s family . He was to be replaced, on the same acting basis, by Mr Esper.
