A National Security Storm Unfolds in Real Time
In the heart of the Pentagon, a dramatic event recently unfolded that has sent shockwaves through both political and military circles. What began as a quiet internal investigation over leaks within the Department of Defense quickly escalated into a scene that could’ve been pulled straight from a political thriller: a senior advisor removed from the building under escort, whispers of betrayal echoing through the corridors of the most secure office in the nation.

The name of the official at the center of this high-stakes drama? Dan Caldwell—an influential figure tied closely to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a staunch proponent of a restrained U.S. foreign policy. Now, he faces the possibility of criminal prosecution for what authorities are calling an “unauthorized disclosure” of sensitive national security information.
