Former Defense Secretary Bob Gates accuses White House officials of “aggressive, suspicious, and sometimes condescending and insulting questioning of our military leaders” in his new book and compares the Obama administration’s tight control of national security matters to that of Richard Nixon’s.
President Barack Obama on Wednesday accepted the resignation of National Security Advisor Tom Donilon and is expected to tap scandal-plagued U.N. ambassador Susan Rice as his replacement.
National Security Adviser Tom Donilon collected more than $148,000 in pension payments from bailed out mortgage giant Fannie Mae in 2011, on top of his White House salary of $172,200, according to a Free Beacon analysis of White House personal financial disclosure forms.
