The president is turning to others ahead of his Fox News star defense secretary.
Donald Trump is sidestepping his own defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, while seeking advice on whether to launch a military strike against Iran, according to a report.
An unnamed U.S. official told The Washington Post that the president is instead turning to a couple of four-star generals for guidance on whether to join Israel in attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities, with the head of the Pentagon being largely left out.
“Nobody is talking to Hegseth,” the official said. “There is no interface operationally between Hegseth and the White House at all.”
Seriously, did you actually expect four-star generals to take orders from a washed-out O-3?
