Ex-Aide: Hegseth Spends Half His Time Seeking Leakers

The Daily Beast reports:

Pete Hegseth spends at least half of his time investigating leaks—and then working out with active-duty troops to appear competent despite the leaks, according to a former Pentagon aide. Trump’s defense secretary has reportedly become increasingly isolated and paranoid as news of Pentagon plans leaked, including details of military plans for the Panama Canal, the decision to pause intelligence gathering related to Ukraine, and Elon Musk’s visit to discuss China.
