Hegseth’s Polygraph Tantrum: Pentagon Generals Defy Fox Host’s Pseudoscience
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, facing multiple scandals involving the unauthorized use of unsecured communication channels to discuss sensitive information, has responded by threatening colleagues with polygraph tests. These threats, directed at high-ranking officials like Admiral Christopher Grady and Lieutenant General Doug Sims, followed reports of leaks regarding classified briefings and military operations. Simultaneously, several aides were fired, claiming they were unaware of the reasons for their dismissal, suggesting possible retaliatory actions. An ongoing Pentagon Inspector General investigation into Hegseth’s handling of classified information further complicates the situation, leading to speculation about his potential dismissal.
