Summary
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s chief of staff, Joe Kasper, is transitioning to a new role at the Pentagon following recent staffing upheavals that included the firing of key aides amid a leak investigation.

Meanwhile, Hegseth faced scrutiny for sharing sensitive information in a group chat, though he and a Pentagon spokesperson stated that no classified details were disclosed, with President Trump publicly supporting Hegseth’s performance.
