At least two officials \u2014 Hegseth&#8217;s senior adviser Dan Caldwell and deputy chief of staff Dan Selnick \u2014 were fired as a leak investigation ordered by Kasper was underway, CBS News reported Friday. A third official, deputy defense secretary chief of staff Colin Carroll, was placed on leave as part of the same leak probe.<\/p>\n<p>Caldwell, Selnick and Carroll said they were &#8220;incredibly disappointed by the manner in which our service at the Department of Defense ended&#8221; in a joint statement <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/dandcaldwell\/status\/1913701312929149363\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">shared on X<\/a> Saturday. And the three said they &#8220;still have not been told what exactly we were investigated for, if there is still an active investigation, or if there was even a real investigation of &#8216;leaks&#8217; to begin with.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/pete-hegseth-yemen-strike-2nd-signal-chat\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">CBS News also reported Sunday<\/a><\/span> that Hegseth shared information about airstrikes in Yemen last month in a group chat on the Signal messaging app that included his wife, brother and personal attorney.
