Pentagon officials plot to oust Defense Secretary Hegseth

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces a quietly emerging rebellion within the Pentagon that threatens his position, with conspirators gathering evidence to force his resignation or impeachment. According to the Daily Mail, evidence against Hegseth is stored in three secure locations, including a gun safe in Virginia and a bank vault in Washington, D.C. The documents allegedly detail ignored strategic advice, verbal attacks on experts, and threats against subordinates. Discontent has simmered since Hegseth's tenure began, particularly over his wife Jennifer's presence at official meetings. The evidence could support impeachment efforts if Democrats regain the House in Tuesday's congressional elections.
