Pentagon Shakeup: Leaks, Lies, and Fallout
A rock-solid advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just got the boot. Dan Caldwell was shown the door for leaking secrets. Simple as that.
Caldwell was escorted out of the Pentagon on Tuesday for what officials called “an unauthorized disclosure.” Details are still murky, but one thing’s clear—this isn’t a routine mistake.
The fallout comes amid a broader Pentagon investigation. Reuters reported:
One of U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s top advisors, Dan Caldwell, was escorted out of the Pentagon on Tuesday after being identified during an investigation into leaks at the Department of Defense, a U.S. official told Reuters.
Caldwell, a senior advisor to Pete Hegseth, was placed on administrative leave for “an unauthorized disclosure,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The decision has not been previously reported.
“The investigation remains ongoing,” the official said.
Caldwell’s name popped up again in connection with the Mike Waltz Houthi Signal chat group. A new twist that raises even more eyebrows. Many are asking if his removal is tied to that very incident.
The story gets even more interesting. Pete Hegseth isn’t new to Caldwell—he interviewed him years ago on FOX News. That personal history only adds fuel to the fire as the investigation drags on.
