Top Pentagon Spokesperson Quits, Then Drops 'Bombshell' Warning About Pete Hegseth

John Ullyot said the Defense Department is in "total disarray" under Hegseth.

John Ullyot, who resigned last week as chief Pentagon spokesperson, predicted that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will also be out of a job soon.

And he warned that even more “bombshell” stories about Hegseth and the Defense Department are about to drop.

“It’s been a month of total chaos at the Pentagon,” Ullyot, who has served in a number of roles within President Donald Trump’s orbit over the years, wrote in an op-ed for Politico. “From leaks of sensitive operational plans to mass firings, the dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president — who deserves better from his senior leadership.”

Hegseth has been under fire after a series of reports that he repeatedly shared highly sensitive information outside of official channels, especially via the Signal messaging app.

Last month, it was revealed that national security advisor Michael Waltz inadvertently added a journalist to a Signal group chat with other top officials, including Hegseth, who shared details about military strikes in Yemen, among other things.
