A Trump nominee for a senior Pentagon post objected to a Defense Department policy adviser’s heterodox views on China, pledging to ensure that personnel reporting to him reflect President Trump’s views on national security.
Elbridge Colby, the president’s nominee for under secretary of defense for policy, appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee today for his confirmation hearing. Chairman Roger Wicker asked for his perspective on comments made by two Pentagon appointees who would report to Colby if he is confirmed for the job, one of the department’s most senior roles.
