White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt quickly denied a report that President Donald Trump’s administration is considering replacements for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
NPR reported Monday afternoon that White House officials have “begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense,” which Leavitt quickly called “FAKE NEWS.”
The story is “total FAKE NEWS based on one anonymous source who clearly has no idea what they are talking about,” she said. “As the President said this morning, he stands strongly behind” Hegseth.
