The president of the United States calls the last controversy about the management of the head of defense or military information as a “loss of time.”
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has backed his chief of defense after reports that he shared confidential military information in a second chat of group of signals, marking the last controversy over the main official of the Pentagon as a “loss of time.”
The support of Trump or the Secretary of Defense of the United States, Pete Hegseth, occurred on Monday after several media reported that the chief of defense had shared details about the raids of bombings planned in Yemen in a group chat that included his wife, brother lawyer.
The reports have revived the scrutiny of Hegseeth’s leadership, after last month’s revelations that shared details about the next air attacks on Houthi’s rebels in a group of signals that the editor in chief of Atlantic magazine.
“Here we go again. Just a waste of time,” Trump told White House journalists.
“It’s doing a great job.”
“Ask the hutis how it is,” Trump added.
Trump also suggested that Hegseth, a former officer of the US National Guard and Fox News presenter, was the victim of “discouragement employees”, after several of his former assistants, including his former press secretary, publicly.
In an operation article published on Sunday, Ullyot, one of the four defense officials that Hegseth shot or asked to resign in the last week, written that the Pentagon was in “uprooting” and “total chaos” under the leadership of the secretary.
“They simply mention stories,” Trump said.
“I guess it sounds like unhappy employees. You know, he got there to get rid of many bad people, and that is what is DOE. So you don’t always have friends when you do that.”
Hegseeth also attacked the criticism, the battery of the media for the use of former employees with complaints “to cut and burn people and marry their reputation.”
Numerous democratic legislators, including the senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, have asked Hegseeth to renounce or set fire to the controversy.
The Republicans, with the exception of Congressman Don Bacon de Nebraska, who has asked for the elimination of Hegseth, have remained silent or recovered in their defense.
“It seems that the investigation of leaks in the Pentagon needs to continue finding thesis leaks,” said Republican Senator Tom Cotton, president of the Senate Intelligence Committee, in X.
“Secretary Hegseeth is busy by implementing President Trump’s first American agenda, while these leaks try to undermine both of them. Shameless.”
