Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ripped the “hoax press” and blamed recently fired aides “spinning” lies for the turmoil now engulfing the Pentagon on his watch — vowing in a Fox News interview on April 22 that all persons found to be leaking sensitive US military plans will be referred to the Justice Department for prosecution.
“When that evidence is gathered sufficiently — and this has all happened very quickly — it will be handed over to DOJ, and those people will be prosecuted if necessary,” Hegseth told “Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade. NY Post reporter Josh Christenson shares this story.
