Pentagon and DOJ form task force to stop news leaks
Pete Hegseth is officially declaring war on whistleblowers after stories broke about Donald Trump's shiny new plane from Qatar.
The Pentagon and the Justice Department just created a joint task force to track down whoever keeps talking to journalists. Pete Hegseth gave his legal team sweeping power to grab whatever files they need across the entire department.
This whole crackdown kicked into high gear right after the federal government slapped subpoenas on New York Times reporters. Their crime? Reporting that intelligence officials had serious security concerns about Donald Trump's new Air Force One, which happened to be a free gift from Qatar. An FBI official even personally bugged the editors to kill the story before it ran.
Federal agencies spending massive resources to figure out who blew the whistle on a gift plane is certainly a choice.
