Pentagon Investigates Leaks Amid Musk's Condemnation

The Pentagon has launched an investigation into unauthorized leaks of national security information, with Defense Department personnel potentially facing polygraph tests. This follows a memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s chief of staff, Joe Kasper, calling for the probe, though details of the leaks remain unspecified. The investigation, potentially involving polygraphs and criminal referrals, seeks to identify those responsible for the leaks, amid pressure from Elon Musk, who has condemned the spread of 'maliciously false information' about his military engagements. The Justice Department has concurrently announced an investigation into leaks about the gang Tren de Aragua. President Trump has rejected reports that Musk would be briefed on U.S. military strategies against China. This step mirrors actions by the Department of Homeland Security, which has also been using polygraphs to identify leakers within its ranks.
