Dan Caldwell, a top adviser to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, was escorted from the Pentagon as part of a leak investigation concerning sensitive information. Caldwell has had a long connection with Hegseth and previously served in Iraq, expressing skepticism about the war. The probe adds to the growing scrutiny of unauthorized disclosures within the Pentagon. Caldwell's views on military engagement reflect a broader divide within the Republican Party about America's role in global conflicts. His situation underscores emerging tensions regarding U.S. foreign policy posture.
Since arriving at the Pentagon with Mr. Hegseth in January, Mr. Caldwell has accompanied the defense secretary to some of his meetings with key foreign leaders.
The investigation into Mr. Caldwell and his removal from the Pentagon were reported earlier by Reuters.
Mr. Caldwell has expressed deep skepticism about U.S. military engagement abroad, particularly the Iraq war, which he considered a monstrous crime.
Caldwell's positions have sparked debate within the Republican Party regarding military engagement and foreign policy strategy.
