Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth condemned the media and departed aides for alleged leaks of sensitive military information. In an interview, he promised that any identified leakers would face prosecution by the Justice Department. Hegseth also confirmed the dismissal of several senior advisers as a consequence of the ongoing investigation. He emphasized that evidence exists suggesting that these individuals were involved in the leaks, alluding to serious revelations regarding U.S. military plans. His comments highlight the depth of the turmoil within the Pentagon over these disclosures.
When that evidence is gathered sufficiently - and this has all happened very quickly - it will be handed over to DOJ, and those people will be prosecuted if necessary.
Once a leaker, always a leaker, often a leaker," he added, noting that an extensive probe will uncover who divulged US plans for the Panama Canal or tech mogul Elon Musk's planned visit to the Pentagon.
