Pentagon’s turmoil, where the inner circle points in Higseth are in the midst of the leakage probe

First on the fox: The bitter interior dispute in Pentagon The audience spilled this week after the Defense Minister Beit Higseth felt entertained for their duties – and now requires accusations with the suspension of professions in balance.

Three senior assistants Higseth It was placed on vacation and escort from the building this week, where the Pentagon was investigating the unauthorized leaks: a great advisor Dan Caldwell, Deputy Chief of Staff Darren Celnik and Coleen Carroll, Chief of Staff of the Deputy Minister of Defense Stephen Venberg.

John Ullewat, one of the other press assistants, made ways with the Pentagon because he did not want to be second in the telecom store.

But Fox News Digital learned from many defense officials that the three employees have never been informed of what they accused of leakage, and they did not read their rights and did not give any guidelines about who they could or could not talk to. They were also not asked to deliver their mobile phones as part of the leakage probe.

At least one of the former employees is to consult with the legal advisor, but none of them were launched and all of them are waiting for the results of the investigation.

“It is not a preliminary step to conduct an investigation, so if they believe they are subjected to railways or difficulty, they will have some legal opportunities to respond when there is an official decision,” said Sean Timmons, a legal expert in the Military and Employment Law.

“They have been insulted in the media somewhat. However, this happens every day in the federal government. In general, what happened so far is not necessarily considered discipline. It is just a security protocol step to suspend their license, and to suspend their arrival in their emails, and a comprehensive independent investigation can be conducted.”

The officials denied that the three men had been placed on vacation because of their views of foreign policy and said that they had not seen any connection with their positions in Iran and Israel – even when the reports that President Donald Trump told Prime Minister Donald Trump appeared Benjamin Netanyahu The Pentagon will not interfere if Israel attacks Iran.

Selnick focused on operations, management and employees; Carroll focused largely on acquisitions; Caldawil mostly advised the Europe wallet.

But the trio was united, according to one defense official, knowing the situation, in the fact that the Chief of Staff of Higseth, Joe Casper, had a “deep revenge” against them. Kasper issued a note in late March to direct the Pentagon to investigate unauthorized disclosure of journalists and go to the point of using lying detector tests if necessary.

The three raised concerns about Higseth regarding the Casper leadership, and Casper believed that they were trying to expel him, according to one official.

The official said that these tensions were flooded in “screaming matches in the front office.”

Another Pentagon official insisted that any accusation revolving around the shooting of anything other than the investigation of the unauthorized leakage was “a mistake.”

“This is not related to personal conflict,” said this official. “There is evidence of leakage. This is related to unauthorized disclosure, so that it includes classified information.”

The three assistants are the civil political appointed, which means that they can be expelled on the will regardless of the investigation. But if it turns out that they participated in the unauthorized leakage, they can get rid of their security permits.

“There are very few protection when it comes to political appointment in exchange for civil civil staff,” said Liby Jameson, a lawyer for military law. “For those appointed, there is a very wide discretionary authority that must be placed on an administrative leave or reset it.”

If employees are accused of leakage, a report will be sent to the defense information system for safety, then there is an independent review of their eligibility to access sensitive information.

“They will likely get a chance, to try to maintain their permit and show that they do not violate any security protocols when it comes to dealing with sensitive information.” “If it turns out that they were leaking of information in violation of the rules, then there is a guidance violation of personal misconduct and to violate sensitive information. Therefore, they can be prosecuted criminally and certainly they were finished from their work, equipment and cancel them.”

Or, if the independent officer does not find sufficient evidence to link them to the leaks, they can return to their sites and maintain permits.

At the same time, Ullyot said that he made it clear to Hegseth from the beginning that he was “not interested in being the second number of anyone in public affairs.”

ULLYOT has operated the Public Affairs Office on the basis of acting at the beginning of the administration, as it led a memorandum that retracted the work spaces for the old media and was re -was restored to conservative networks. Ullyot also hit a blow to the former president of joint chiefs of staff Mark Millie, saying that “Karadou” is a bad example of fitness standards.

But as his temporary main role approaches, Sean Parnell took the position of Pentagon’s spokesperson, Ullyot said that he and Hegseth “were unable to reach an agreement on a good suitability for me in DOD. So I told him today that I will eventually leave this week.”

Ullewat said he was still “the most powerful supporter of Higseth.”
