News Wrap: Acting Navy Secretary Modly resigns after controversy

In our news wrap Tuesday, acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly has resigned after a tirade against the former captain of a warship hit by COVID-19. Modly had said that fired Captain Brett Crozier was “too naive or too stupid” to hold his post. Also, White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham is leaving her post to become the first lady’s chief of staff. She never held a formal press briefing.
