An op-ed written by former Defense Department aide John Ullyot criticized Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, suggesting that President Trump may soon remove him due to recent turmoil at the Pentagon. Ullyot highlighted chaos, leaks of sensitive information, and the sudden firing of several top officials as major issues. The Defense Department did not immediately respond to these claims. Ullyot, who worked for the Trump administration, noted the abrupt removal of Hegseth’s chief of staff and other senior aides, prompting backlash from the fired officials. He refuted anonymous claims that they were fired for leaking information, stating that it was not true. Ullyot himself decided to leave when offered a position by Hegseth and described a series of errors made by his former boss. The op-ed came shortly after reports that Hegseth used his personal phone to share military information with a private chat group. Overall, Ullyot’s piece criticized Hegseth’s leadership, highlighting a “meltdown” at the Pentagon that is causing problems for the administration.
