A senior administration official has resigned amid speculation over internal divisions, with reports highlighting strained relations between the official and the Defense Secretary. While no explanation for the departure has been provided, tensions between the two figures have been previously documented. The move comes as political alliances within the administration face renewed scrutiny, particularly given the official’s close ties to the Vice President. The lack of a public statement adds to the uncertainty surrounding the circumstances.
No reason was given for the departure of Driscoll, who is a friend of Vice President JD Vance, but tensions with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have been widely reported.
