Joint Chiefs: Transgender policy won't change until Pentagon gets it in writing from Trump

"I know there are questions about yesterday's announcement on the transgender policy by the president," Marine Gen. Joe Dunford wrote in the message, addressed to the chiefs of the services and senior enlisted leaders, according to Politico. "There will be no modifications to the current policy until the president's direction has been received by the secretary of defense and the secretary has issued implementation guidance."

A photo of the letter was shared on Twitter Thursday by CNN reporter Barbara Starr.
