Tap title to read story
Pentagon Chief of Staff Joe Kasper resigned, leaving his post to return to consulting. His departure follows weeks of internal friction and the recent firing of three senior aides in a leaks investigation. While Secretary Pete Hegseth denies firing Kasper, sources suggest conflict stemming from Kasper's opposition to the fired aides' influence. Reports also detail Hegseth's increasingly isolated position and aggressive behavior, including threatening officials with polygraph tests.
