U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has been mired in controversy since Donald Trump first nominated him, is now “unlikely to remain in his role,” according to his own former department spokesperson on Sunday.

The report includes “remarkable accusations” from a former Hegseth aide and comes the same day as it was reported that the Secretary was involved in a second unsecured Signal chat in which sensitive attack plans were shared. Hegseth was mocked for the reported security misstep.

In a piece entitled, “Former Pentagon official warns department’s dysfunction could topple Hegseth,” Politico quotes John Ullyot, the former top Defense Department spokesperson, as saying, “The last month has been a full-blown meltdown at the Pentagon.”
