The Pentagon Leakers Might Want To Lawyer Up
Posted • April 22, 2025: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday sent a clear message to leakers in the Pentagon. He suggested that those who gave internal information to the media could be subject to prosecution. Hegseth’s comments came during a wide-ranging interview on “Fox and Friends” with host Brian Kilmeade. During the conversation, Hegseth discussed the seeming flood of leaks coming from the Pentagon, which Democrats and the media have used against him and President Donald Trump. Hegseth defended his leadership and condemned the leaks as efforts to sabotage the Trump administration’s agenda. He stressed that leaked messages shared via messaging app Signal were “informal, unclassified coordinations for media coordination and other things.” The defense secretary further stated, “We take the classification of information, very important.”
Hegseth confirmed that several senior staffers had been fired because they were suspected of leaking information. “It was the result of an investigation … sufficient evidence to believe that they or others near them were party to leaking,” he said. The secretary alleged that the staffers who lost their jobs were retaliating by slamming him in the press. “Disgruntled former employees are peddling things to try to save their ass,” he told Kilmeade. The secretary further explained that the leaks are still under investigation and that the DoD could refer the matter to the Department of Justice. “When that evidence is gathered sufficiently … those people will be prosecuted, if necessary,” he said.
