MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on the chaos surrounding Pete Hegseth’s late-night firing of Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia, a three-star general responsible for planning military operations abroad. While the Joint Staff praised Sylvia’s service, Hegseth’s Pentagon accused him of unlawful leaking and announced a referral to the Justice Department. Meiselas breaks down the conflicting statements and the impact of another top military leader’s removal during wartime.
