Hegseth Aide’s Cocaine Claim Fuels Pentagon Scandal
Following the dismissal of three high-ranking aides—Colin Carroll, Dan Caldwell, and Darin Selnick—from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office, a bitter feud continues. Carroll is reportedly investigating a potential defamation lawsuit against former chief of staff Joe Kasper, even contacting Kasper’s former associates to inquire about alleged past cocaine use. Kasper vehemently denies these allegations, citing mandatory Pentagon drug testing. This ongoing conflict, fueled by accusations of both information leaks and toxic workplace behavior, has left the Secretary of Defense’s office severely understaffed amid critical geopolitical situations.
