Former chief Pentagon spokesman and aide to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, John Ullyot, resigned abruptly last week from his post as controversy strikes the critical agency once again. He is now detailing what he describes as a "month from hell" working under Hegseth.
"It's been a month of total chaos at the Pentagon. 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," Ullyot, who served as the acting assistant to Hegseth for public affairs before resigning last week, wrote in a recent Politico Magazine opinion essay.
