The White House has denied reports regarding the potential replacement of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth following controversies over sensitive information shared by him. This comes after criticism from various quarters, including a New York Times article and comments from former Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot. Although President Trump defended Hegseth, reports from NPR suggest the administration is contemplating his replacement, with conservative commentator Erick Erickson providing insight into internal divisions. Despite the rumors, there are no guarantees regarding Hegseth's removal as Trump seems hesitant about taking action.
Hegseth was under fire Monday after a stunning series of reports revealing he had shared details of a sensitive attack against the Houthis in a Signal chat.
Both NPR and Erickson provided conflicting narratives regarding Hegsethâs future, with NPR suggesting the search for a new secretary of defense had begun.
