The White House has begun the process of looking for a new leader at the Pentagon to replace Pete Hegseth, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly. This comes as Hegseth is again mired in controversy over sharing military operational details in a group chat.
The defense secretary is under fire after revelations that he shared classified information in a group chat with his wife, brother and lawyer, according to the official.

How we know it's true:
"White House responds to NPR report on search for Hegseth replacement: ‘FAKE NEWS’"
“This @NPR story is total FAKE NEWS based on one anonymous source who clearly
has no idea what they are talking about. As the President said this morning, he stands strongly behind @SecDef,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt
said on social platform X.

So, it's settled: Kegbreath is on his way out.
