Pete Hegseth is fighting to keep his job as Defense Secretary, focusing on public appearances to speak directly to President Donald Trump. Trump disapproved of Hegseth’s sharing of information about airstrikes in Yemen with unauthorized individuals, but encouraged him to keep fighting. Hegseth has been described as insecure and erratic in his behavior, berating and yelling at staff. He recently fired several officials implicated in a leak investigation, leading to their exonerations. Hegseth has made staff changes, with Chief of Staff Joe Kasper transitioning to a different role. Several new senior advisers have been appointed to support Hegseth in his front office. Despite controversies, including his use of the unsecure Signal app and the installation of a special internet line in his Pentagon office, Hegseth continues to fight to maintain his job and support Trump’s agenda.
