‘I’ll hook you up to a f***ing polygraph test,’ a furious Hegseth told acting chair of the Joint Chief of Staff in hunt for leak: report

A furious Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth threatened to hook up the acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to a “f****** polygraph test” following a news leak last month, according to a report.

Hegseth reportedly erupted last month after information emerged that the Pentagon had set up a briefing for Elon Musk on plans in the event of a war with China. An angry Donald Trump immediately responded that Musk would not be receiving any information given his major business ties with Beijing. The leak infuriated the president and raised alarm bells within the Pentagon, The Wall Street Journal reported.
