According to aFox News reportby Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to remove Colonel Dave Butler from his post as Chief of Army Public Affairs and as the top adviser to the Secretary.
Driscoll, who is currently in Geneva, Switzerland, serving on the U.S. negotiating team tasked with helping end the war in Ukraine.
He was reportedly ordered by Pete Hegseth to remove Butler last week at the Pentagon, according to theWashington Post.
Butler served as the head of public affairs for the Joint Chiefs of Staff under none other than General Mark Milley.
Patriots remember Milley well for his “white rage” comments and his secret calls to China behind President Trump’s back.
Butler was reportedly slated to receive his first star, appearing for two years in a row on an Army list of 34 officers selected for promotion to General. But Pete Hegseth put a stop to it.
Hegseth has reportedly held up that promotion list for nearly four months.
Fox News reports that Col. Butler “volunteered to take his name off the promotion list” if it would help unlock the promotions for the other officers.
“After 28 years of dedicated service, Col. Dave Butler is immediately transitioning from his position as Chief of Army Public Affairs to retire,” Cynthia O. Smith, an Army spokesperson, toldThe Hillin a statement Tuesday. “His integral role in the Army’s transformation efforts will be missed, and we wish him tremendous success.”
