Pentagon Leak Probe Loses White House Trust | JQJO

The White House has lost faith in the Pentagon's leak investigation led by Pete Hegseth, following claims of an illegal NSA wiretap used to justify firing three aides. Advisors found this claim untrue, suspecting dubious information from Hegseth's lawyer, Tim Parlatore. The leak investigation, focusing on a leaked document outlining Panama Canal plans, has yielded no new evidence after a month. The White House questions the investigation's motives, suspecting it was used to target aides involved in internal office disputes. The situation puts pressure on Hegseth ahead of a Senate hearing and highlights dysfunction within the Department of Defense.
