Three former senior aides to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a joint statement condemning their ouster from the Pentagon due to “baseless attacks,” amid a widening probe into information leaks. Members of Hegseth’s inner circle were placed on leave before being escorted out last week. In a post on X, the trio said they were never informed of the allegations or the investigation status. Their removal comes as the Trump administration overhauls Pentagon leadership, purging diversity-related content and dismissing top military officials.
