Chief of staff to the secretary of defense is usually a prestigious and sought-after job, but under Pete Hegseth, the White House is reportedly having trouble filling it.
At least three people have turned down top Defense Department jobs—including chief of staff and several senior adviser roles—since Hegseth abruptly fired three of his top aides in April and accused them of leaking information to the press, NBC News reported.
Hegseth’s former chief of staff Joe Kasper was also pushed out of the Pentagon following what insiders described as a vicious “turf war.”
