Pete Hegseth's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It has been a week for the books for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
First, there was new, corroborated reporting that he might have ordered a war crime in the Caribbean.
Second, the Admiral that Hegseth has been blaming testified in classified briefings to members of Congress, who came out and said it was a disturbing ordeal.
Third, more new reporting about how Pete ousted a 4-star Admiral over the legality of the Caribbean strikes and DEI.
Fourth, a new Department of Defense investigation says Hegseth may have jeopardized US lives by sending sensitive information over Signal back in March.
It's a lot to get through, and Grant breaks it all down.
