Chaos in the Pentagon over Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s indecision and flip-flopping prompted a “rare intervention” from President Donald Trump’s favorite general.

The top Defense Department spokesman is getting ahead of a purported letter coming together to raise the signers’ collective concerns surrounding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s performance. The Daily Mail reported on the creation of this letter circulating around military and civilian officials within the department on Wednesday.

The Pentagon is responding to reports that its internal watchdog detected details from a classified email in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's communications on Signal about a strike against Yemen. The chat became controversial after an Atlantic reporter was mistakenly added to a top official chain on the matter.
