John Ullyot, a former aide to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, wrote an op-ed criticizing his former boss and suggesting that President Donald Trump may soon remove him due to recent turmoil at the Pentagon. Ullyot highlighted leaks of sensitive operational plans, mass firings of top officials, and chaos within the department. He mentioned the recent removal of Hegseth’s chief of staff and other senior aides, leading to anonymous smears against them by Pentagon officials. Ullyot denied being part of the purge and described a series of unforced errors by Hegseth. He stated that despite being a strong supporter of Hegseth, he recognized the current situation as a full-blown meltdown at the Pentagon, which is becoming a real problem for the administration. The op-ed was published shortly after reports that Hegseth had used his personal phone to share information about military operations in Yemen with a group chat that included family members and his personal lawyer. The Defense Department did not comment on the op-ed. Ullyot, who worked in the first Trump administration, explained his decision to leave his position at the Pentagon and expressed disappointment in the way his former colleagues were treated.
