Washington — The Pentagon's top policy official who initially signed off on the release of military aid to Ukraine is leaving his post after President Trump requested he step down, according to his resignation letter.
"Senior administration officials appointed by the President serve at the pleasure of the President, and therefore, as you have requested, I am providing my resignation, effective February 28, 2020," John Rood, the under secretary of defense for policy, wrote in the letter obtained by CBS News.

It is more interesting what is not said than what is said...typical for DC...but it is what it is...the President calls the shots...if somebody can be upgraded, gotta do it.
