Germany’s controversial defense minister will step down from her position after what critics say have been a series of errors including most lately a bizarre New Year’s video for which the leader was pilloried.

Christine Lambrecht will reportedly resign imminently, according to multiple German media outlets. She has been serving in her position as defense minister since late 2021.
