Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin this week to urge current military officials to facilitate the transition to the new administration.
Senator Cotton wrote, “It appears that partisans and obstructionists inside the Department of Defense are laying groundwork to defy or circumvent President Trump’s plans for both military and civil-service reform. These actions undermine civilian control of the military and our constitutional structure of government.“
He called the tactics “useless“ and urged defense officials to “get on with the business of handing over the reins to the next administration.“
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Austin and Pentagon officials to uphold the Constitution as they are sworn to do.
- For the president and his administration as they fulfill their duties in the final weeks of the current administration.
- For wisdom for the president-elect and his nominees as they prepare for office.
