An op-ed written by former Defense Department spokesperson John Ullyot criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for a month of chaos at the Pentagon, including leaked texts about airstrikes in Yemen and the abrupt firings of top officials. Ullyot suggested that President Trump, known for holding officials accountable, may remove Hegseth soon. He also highlighted the recent firings of top Pentagon officials, which were followed by anonymous smears accusing them of leaking sensitive information. Ullyot, who chose to leave his position, described himself as loyal to Hegseth but acknowledged unforced errors made by his former boss. The op-ed was published shortly after reports that Hegseth used his personal phone to share military information with a small group that included his family and personal lawyer. Overall, Ullyot’s critique of Hegseth’s leadership and the dysfunction at the Pentagon has raised concerns about the administration’s ability to effectively manage national security issues.
