A Pentagon official's secret recording has sparked a political firestorm after a senior Department of the Navy official was allegedly caught calling Donald Trump a 'textbook narcissist', describing the US war in Iran as 'completely stupid' and claiming it was driven by 'one man's ego'.
The official, identified as Brandon Newsom, was later placed on administrative leave after conservative activist James O'Keefe released footage appearing to show Newsom discussing Trump's policies and saying he wanted to remain at the Pentagon so he could eventually 'undo whatever's been done' by the administration.
