Top Pentagon Spokesperson Quits, Then Drops 'Bombshell' Warning About Pete Hegseth
John Ullyot, who resigned last week as chief Pentagon spokesperson, predicted that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will also be out of a job soon.
And he warned that even more “bombshell” stories about Hegseth and the Defense Department are about to drop.
“It’s been a month of total chaos at the Pentagon,” Ullyot, who has served in a number of roles within President Donald Trump’s orbit over the years, wrote in an opinion piece for Politico. “From leaks of sensitive operational plans to mass firings, the dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president — who deserves better from his senior leadership.”
Hegseth has been under fire after a series of reports that he repeatedly shared highly sensitive information outside official channels, especially via the Signal messaging app.
Harvard sues the Trump administration over funding cuts
Harvard University sued the Trump administration on Monday after the federal government canceled billions of dollars in funding for the Ivy League school.
The lawsuit marks a significant — though expected — escalation in the battle between Harvard and President Trump after the nation’s oldest university rejected administration demands to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and change its admission and hiring practices, among other things.
In response, the Trump administration froze billions of dollars in funding, threatened the school’s tax-exemption status and said it could take away its ability to admit international students.
Noem’s purse containing DHS access badge, $3K in cash stolen at DC restaurant
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem’s purse, containing $3,000 in cash and her DHS access badge, was stolen Sunday night at a restaurant in downtown Washington, an official confirmed to NewsNation.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told NewsNation’s Ali Bradley that Noem was eating dinner when a thief stole the purse, which also contained Noem’s passport, her driver’s license, blank checks and her keys.
McLaughlin explained to Bradley that Noem was celebrating Easter with her family, so she had those items with her.
“She had the cash because her whole family was in town (including children and grandchildren) and was treating them to activities, dinner and Easter gifts,” McLaughlin said.
CNN, which first reported on the incident, noted the thief also stole Noem’s medication and makeup bag.
