Hegseth Suspends 3 Senior Political Aides Amid Leak Inquiry
The abrupt personnel shake-up has roiled the Pentagon’s inner sanctum and left
other officials wondering who else could be targeted.
By Dan Lamothe
Three senior aides to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, all political appointees, have been suspended amid a Pentagon inquiry into the apparent leak of sensitive information, defense officials said.
Dan Caldwell, a senior adviser to Hegseth; Darin Selnick, the secretary’s deputy
chief of staff; and Colin Carroll, chief of staff to Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg, were removed from the Pentagon this week, officials said on the condition of anonymity to discuss a personnel shake-up that has roiled the building’s inner sanctum.
One official said Tuesday that it appeared Caldwell and Selnick would be the only government officials targeted in the inquiry “for now,” but then Carroll
joined the list Wednesday, raising questions about whether the purge will continue to widen.
The Pentagon under Hegseth’s leadership has experienced an uncustomary amount of
tumult, drawing fierce criticism from Democrats and former top Defense Department leaders alarmed by the apparent politicization of what is expected to
remain a nonpartisan institution.
