Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has been plagued by scandals and controversies almost since the minute he was nominated to lead the Department of Defense. Now, the Trump administration is struggling to fill key roles with qualified people willing to work for one of the highest-ranking Cabinet members.
Among the key positions the department is looking to fill is the defense secretary's chief of staff, a role that is normally considered prestigious and typically attracts multiple qualified candidates. However, at least three people have already turned down the roles, some with fears of working under Hegseth, according to a new report from NBC News.
