The Pentagon budget chief who questioned the Trump’s administration’s hold on aid to Ukraine last year will leave her post at the end of the month, Defense Secretary Mark Esper announced Tuesday.

Elaine McCusker, who has been acting under secretary of defense (comptroller) since last summer, submitted her resignation, with her last day set for June 26, according to a Pentagon statement.

“Since joining the Department of Defense Elaine has worked tirelessly to ensure that our budgeting and audit processes give full value to the taxpayer while meeting the enormous security needs of our nation as well as the men and women who serve it,” Esper said in the statement.

“I am grateful for her dedication to public service and the contributions that she has made to the Department and wish her the very best in her future endeavors.”

No additional details were given on her departure.

The Pentagon, aren’t they the people who recently surrendered to BLM and Antifa?

That’s not surrender - that’s collaboration.

Probably leaving in an attempt to avoid being prosecuted for financial irregularities.

Partner, we can not fire anybody that works for the government. It is a lifetime job.

The DemonRat party has figured this out and this is the main reason why we can not drain the swamp just yet. All we have to do is look at Fauci and Birx and they are bona fide members of the D.C. Swamp.

The POTUS will need authority to fire anybody that should get fired for negligence on the job.

Esper was obvious bad news from the start, too.
