The Department of Defense confirmed on Tuesday that one of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s top advisors was placed on administrative leave and escorted out of the Pentagon due to an “unauthorized disclosure” of information.
An anonymous U.S. defense official told Reuters on Tuesday that Dan Caldwell, a Pentagon advisor who previously worked for Hegseth at the Defense Priorities and Concerned Veterans for America think tank, had been escorted out of the Pentagon and placed on administrative leave amid the Pentagon’s investigation into internal leaks at the Department of Defense.
