Retired Adm. William McRaven, former head of Special Operations Command, resigned from the Pentagon's Defense Innovation Board last month after asking President Trump to revoke his security clearance.
Defense News first reported McRaven's exit Thursday and the Pentagon confirmed to CNN that he resigned four days after publishing his op-ed.
In his editorial for The Washington Post, McRaven tore into the president for revoking the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan, calling Brennan "one of the finest public servants I have ever known."
"Therefore, I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency," McRaven wrote.
