Hegseth accuses general of leaking

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired Army Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia, a senior military planner on the Pentagon's Joint Staff. Officials stated the dismissal occurred on Thursday following accusations that Sylvia leaked classified information to the public. This removal of the Army general takes place as the U.S. prepares for potential attacks on Iran. Separately, Alaska's governor ordered an investigation into claims that Democrats recruited a spoiler candidate to confuse voters during the state's Senate race.
