The Daily Beast reports:
A top Pentagon official that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired last week as part of an investigation into media leaks said he was ousted as part of a deep state plot in a new tell-all interview.
Dan Caldwell, in an interview with Tucker Carlson Monday, claimed his loyalty to Hegseth and Trump “threatened established interests” within the department. He told the former Fox News host that he and two other ousted officials—Colin Carroll and Darin Selnick—were the subject of baseless accusations and did not leak any information to the media.
Caldwell denied leaking to the press, saying that if he had done so, he would already be in handcuffs. Rather, the leaks, he claimed, are coming from “the career staff who don’t like what the president and vice president and secretary want to do.”
Read the full article. After claiming that the deep state is angry about their push to end “social science experiments” at the Pentagon, Caldwell bizarrely blamed Susan Rice and other former Obama officials for the leaks. Rice currently serves on the board of Netflix and as a visiting fellow at American University.
Dan Caldwell was one of the strongest voices at the Pentagon opposing war with Iran. Then he was falsely accused of leaking classified documents and fired.
