Military Times: In a newly published interview with the New York Times, President Donald Trump claimed he forced former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to resign because “I wasn’t happy with the job that he was doing at all” and needed to make a change.
“I told Mattis to give me a letter (of resignation),” Trump told the newspaper. “He didn’t just give me that letter … I said it’s time.”
The comments are the latest revision by the commander in chief concerning Mattis departure from the top Pentagon post.
