Conservative radio host Erick Erickson confirmed a NPR report that the process of replacing Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has already begun.
Said Erickson: “Just to be clear here, it’s not the President, but those around him who expect more shoes to drop that turn the President against Hegseth and they’re trying to get ready for it.”
He added: “People in the White House believe more is coming on Hegseth that will turn Trump towards wanting a replacement.”
