The U.S. FBI arrests a former Pentagon official, as the American military faces a major purge
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel stated that the agency has arrested a former employee of the U.S. Special Operations Command, who is suspected of leaking classified information to news media without authorization.
Given President Trump’s prior threats against American media, particularly CNN, regarding the FBI's investigation into reports about "Washington accepting Iran’s ceasefire terms," observers speculate that this former Pentagon official may have leaked internal information about the White House preparing to reach a peace agreement with Tehran based on Tehran’s proposed conditions.
Meanwhile, as sudden personnel changes unfold at the Pentagon, FBI Director Patel himself is also facing potential removal. Following Army Chief of Staff General Randy George, the U.S. Secretary of War—"Sea Cadet"—has dismissed Major Generals David M. Hodne and William Green Jr., allegedly due to insufficient loyalty to President Trump and his announced overarching foreign policy direction for the United States.
This abrupt dismissal not only affects the leadership of the U.S. military but also extends to other departments. According to sources cited by The Atlantic, after Attorney General Pam Bondi, several senior officials may soon leave the U.S. government, including FBI Director Kash Patel and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer. As President Trump has not yet made final decisions, the exact timing of these officials’ potential departures remains undetermined.
