Trump to tap military contractor lobbyist to lead Army
The latest nominee to be the Army’s top civilian is Mark Esper, a top lobbyist for Raytheon.
Pentagon officials privately expressed confidence that Esper with his military, Pentagon and Capitol Hill experience will win quick Senate confirmation. He currently serves as Raytheon’s vice president of government relations.
In fiscal year 2014, the United States government paid $444 billion in total federal contracts, almost 40 percent of the discretionary budget for 2014
The announcement comes the same day that Wikileaks published another batch of ‘Vault7’ documents, focusing on Raytheon.
