Insiders Spill on 'Untouchable' Pentagon Pete's Crazed Power Grab
Pete Hegseth has become emboldened to do as he pleases within the Pentagon as his willingness to do President Donald Trumps bidding has apparently shielded him from pushback, insiders say.
The defense secretary, 45, is confident his job is safe after the firings of three other Cabinet officials, and is weaponizing his invincibility to consolidate power over the Defense Department, officials told The Washington Post.
The outlet, which spoke with 16 people with knowledge of Hegseths efforts, said that the former Fox & Friends Weekend host controls not only the departments major weapons procurement programs but also keeps a tight rein over each branchs personnel, limiting top generals and admirals communication with the public.
All the power has been taken away from the uniforms and 100 percent gone to the political appointees, one unnamed official told the outlet.
