WASHINGTON — President Trump’s short list for the next Army secretary just got shorter.
Van Hipp, a former Army assistant secretary and one of the candidates under consideration for the top service post, withdrew his name from consideration on Thursday night.
In a statement to Politico, Hipp said he supports Trump’s vision for the military but “unfortunately the timing would not be right for my family and me due to personal and professional commitments.”
