Esper’s chief policy adviser, James Anderson, submitted his letter of resignation Tuesday, the first top Pentagon official to fall after Esper’s unceremonious firing via Twitter one day ago.
Anderson was the acting undersecretary of defense for policy and was sworn in as the deputy undersecretary of defense for policy June 8. His duties included advising the secretary of defense on national security policy and building partnerships with America’s friends and allies.
