Pentagon Pete Accused of Lying to Trump in Damning White House Leak

Warmongering Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth is lying to President Donald Trump about where the United States stands in the war with Iran, according to insiders. While Hegseth portrayed the escalating conflict as a series of victories that brought the United States ever closer to absolute victory, Iran’s shooting down of an F-15E fighter jet and an A-10 warthog over the weekend revealed a much more complex reality on the ground. Concerns are growing within the Trump administration that the 45-year-old defense secretary’s rosy claims about U.S. dominance are distorting his understanding of the war the 79-year-old president launched more than five weeks ago, The Washington Post reported.
