Third Top Pentagon Staffer Suspended in Expanding Leak Probe Fallout

A drumbeat of suspensions of top Pentagon officials continued into a second day on Wednesday with a defense official confirming that Colin Carroll, the chief of staff to the deputy defense secretary, was suspended.

Carroll is the third top political appointee to be suspended from his job in connection with a leak probe -- apparently into a news story about a proposed top secret China briefing to Elon Musk -- that also ensnared Dan Caldwell, a top adviser to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Darin Selnick, Hegseth's deputy chief of staff.
 
The move has surprised and puzzled officials in the Pentagon since Caldwell and Selnick were trusted advisers who were close to Hegseth.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
