Dan Caldwell, a key adviser to U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, has been placed on administrative leave following a Department of Defense investigation into unauthorized information disclosures. Caldwell was reportedly escorted out of the Pentagon, but details about the disclosures are undisclosed. A memo from Hegseth's chief of staff called for investigations into such leaks, potentially involving polygraph tests for staff. Caldwell, who has been involved in significant military discussions, particularly regarding Yemen, has a history with conservative organizations before his role in the Pentagon.
Caldwell was escorted out of the Pentagon after being identified during the investigation and subsequently placed on administrative leave for an unauthorized disclosure.
It is not currently known if Caldwell was subjected to a polygraph test as part of the investigation into unauthorized disclosures.
