Whispering has it that Dan Driscoll, the US Army Sec. IS VP Vance’s choice to replace Pete Hegseth who seem to keep attracting negative media attention daily….
It was Driscoll who formally presented the 28-point peace plan to Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky. Driscoll then held a flurry of meetings in Kyiv, joined the U.S. delegation in Geneva and jetted to Abu Dhabi to meet the Russians.
- President Trump on Tuesday said he was dispatching Steve Witkoff to Moscow and directing Driscoll to steer the next stage of talks with Kyiv.
- These are — in sum — not the typical responsibilities of an Army secretary, aka the service’s No. 1 civilian.
The big picture: Driscoll’s star is rising. It’s boosted by:
- Trust inside the White House.
- A willingness to engage media outside of the Pentagon’s preferred pool of conservative outlets.
- And a marathon travel circuit that has brought him to dozens of military installations and countries — Forts Bragg and Huachuca and Wainwright, plus Belgium and Germany and Poland, among others — in mere months.
Driving the news: It was Vice President Vance’s idea to tap Driscoll, who was already planning a visit to Ukraine to discuss weapons, industrial output and strategy, according to U.S. officials.
- Vance and Driscoll are former Yale Law classmates and have a long-standing relationship…..
