It has been a week for the books for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. 

First, there was new, corroborated reporting that he might have ordered a war crime in the Caribbean. 

Second, the Admiral that Hegseth has been blaming testified in classified briefings to members of Congress, who came out and said it was a disturbing ordeal. 

Third, more new reporting about how Pete ousted a 4-star Admiral over the legality of the Caribbean strikes and DEI. 

Fourth, a new Department of Defense investigation says Hegseth may have jeopardized US lives by sending sensitive information over Signal back in March. 

It's a lot to get through, and Grant breaks it all down.
