Hegseth's Top Aide Spilled Jaw-Dropping Claim About Drunken Bender [View all]

A top aide to Pete Hegseth spread a rumor that the defense secretary’s drinking habits followed him to the Pentagon, a new report alleges.

Hegseth, whose ex-wife confided in the FBI that he “drinks more often than he doesn’t” and whose former Fox colleagues said he reeked of alcohol before going on air, promised to cut off all booze ahead of his Senate confirmation, which required a Vice President JD Vance tiebreaker.

That made Hegseth’s alleged drinking problem the perfect way to weed out leakers—at least in the eyes of Hegseth’s chief of staff, Ricky Buria, sources tell the New York Post.

Buria reportedly told several Pentagon staffers he and Hegseth donned disguises so they could go on a drunken bender last year, breaking the secretary’s vow of abstinence.

Of course Kegsbreath vehemently denies this and says it never happened.
