Claim 3: “our Under Secretary of War for Policy, Elbridge Colby”
MISLEADING
While TASS reports him as 'Under Secretary of War for Policy', the authoritative Wikipedia entry explicitly states Elbridge Colby is the 'under secretary of defense for policy'. The US does not have a 'Secretary of War' (the department was renamed to Department of Defense in 1947). The claim uses an incorrect department title.
