The Pentagon's top policy official has been asked to resign after losing the confidence of senior national security leadership, sources tell CNN

The Pentagon's top policy official is expected to depart his post soon, according to two sources familiar with the matter. John Rood, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy at the Pentagon, lost support among senior national security leadership and has been asked for his resignation, one of the sources said.

Rood is the Pentagon's top policy official and oversees aspects of the Pentagon's relationship with US allies and partners. Rood was involved in certifying to Congress that Ukraine had embarked on significant reforms to justify its receipt of $250 million in security assistance. That certification undermined one of the justifications -- concerns about corruption in Kiev -- that some members of the Trump administration made to defend blocking aid to Ukraine.

Of course he was asked to resign because he won't do trump's wrong. Anyone who wont do shady or evil deeds has to leave

Either get with the program or get gone.

Still lots of swamp rats around , this one gone!!!

Bill Barr don’t pay any attention to these ignoramouses ..they are only worried that they will be exposed these crooked DemonKkkrats criminals

Good. If you don’t follow the boss, then resign. Trump should fire all Obama holdovers now

At this point, being asked to resign is a badge of honour!

These are scary times

More fallout, another job lost due to trumpy's criminal activity. He'll never admit any wrong doing & blames anyone he can think of, throwing them under the bus to draw heat off of himself. He fires or demands resignations regardless of loyalty, longevity or job performance!

Don’t let the door hit u in the ass!

Jesus,is there no bottom

Draining

Horrible headline ! You are insinuating he did something wrong rather than to legitimately question actions of the administration.

This makes the hands of the GOP full of human 💩 and blood.

realdonaldtrump Ok, everyone with a spine or moral compass: find the door.

col_reub1 Oh won't you stay, just a little bit longer, please, please stay just a little bit more!

col_reub1 Don't step down if trump* wants you to!

I can’t keep track of who the good guys are anymore
