Hegseth fires top general over apparent media leaks

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth fired Army Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia, the head of strategy, plans and policy on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. A Pentagon official informed CBS News that the removal resulted from apparent misconduct involving classified information regarding the Iran and Russia-Ukraine wars. This leadership reshuffle at the Pentagon may signal instability, which could potentially impact market confidence and the future tenure of Pete Hegseth as the Secretary of Defense.
