Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt expressed firm support for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth during a Fox News interview, asserting that President Trump stands by Hegseth despite allegations from a former Pentagon official claiming organizational chaos. Leavitt alleged that members of the Pentagon are actively undermining Hegseth's leadership, citing leaks and misinformation concerning sensitive information he shared with family. The controversy escalated with accusations from a former Pentagon spokesperson criticizing Hegseth's effectiveness and claiming dysfunction in the department during his tenure.
This is what happens when the entire Pentagon is working against you and working against the monumental change that you are trying to implement, Leavitt said.
Secretary Hegseth was nominated for this position because he is standing up for the war fighter â the men and women in uniform who are putting their lives on the line to protect our country and our homeland.
