Defense Department Cracks Down On Classified Information Leaks
The Pentagon has administered polygraph tests to dozens of military officers and civilian employees as part of an investigation into leaks of classified national security information. The tests, which were first reported by The New York Times, followed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s announcement of a joint task force with the Department of Justice to identify and prosecute unauthorized disclosures. The investigation comes amid reports of dwindling US weapons stockpiles, which has raised concerns about the country’s military readiness. This development was first reported by Unknown Source.
