John Ullyot, a former spokesperson for the Defense Department, published an op-ed criticizing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, suggesting that President Donald Trump may soon remove him from his position due to ongoing turmoil. Ullyot described a month of chaos at the Pentagon, including leaked texts about airstrikes in Yemen and the abrupt firings of top officials. He mentioned the removal of Hegseth’s chief of staff and other senior aides, which led to accusations of leaking sensitive information. Ullyot denied these claims and stated he was not part of the purge, choosing to leave the Pentagon when offered a position by Hegseth. He acknowledged his loyalty to Hegseth but highlighted a series of errors made by his former boss, describing the situation at the Pentagon as a “full-blown meltdown” that is becoming a problem for the administration. The op-ed coincided with reports that Hegseth used his personal phone to share military operations information in a private chat group, further exacerbating the turmoil. Sources confirmed this reporting to NBC News. Ullyot’s criticism of Hegseth’s leadership, combined with the ongoing chaos at the Pentagon, raises questions about Hegseth’s future in his position as Secretary of Defense.
