A top Pentagon official that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired last week as part of an investigation into media leaks said he was ousted as part of a deep state plot in a new tell-all interview.
Dan Caldwell, in an interview with Tucker Carlson Monday, claimed his loyalty to Hegseth and President Donald Trump “threatened established interests” within the department. He told the former Fox News host that he and two other ousted officials—Colin Carroll and Darin Selnick—were the subject of baseless accusations and did not leak any information to the media.
“We had people who had personal vendettas against us, and I think they weaponized the investigation against us. I think that’s part of what’s going on here,” Caldwell said.
