Three Pentagon officials, who were removed from their jobs amid an investigation into leaks at the department, now claim they were “slandered.”
Earlier this week, Dan Caldwell, a top adviser to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, was placed on administrative leave for an “an unauthorized disclosure,” a government official previously told Reuters. He and two other officials — Colin Carroll, chief of staff to the deputy defense secretary, and Darin Selnick, deputy chief of staff for the department — were fired on Friday, Politico reported.
