Hegseth Exonerates Helicopter Crews Over Flyby

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday nullified an Army investigation into the unauthorized helicopter flybys of musician Kid Rock’s estate and anti-Trump protests in Tennessee over the weekend, announcing the move just hours after military officials opened their disciplinary review of the soldiers involved,” the Washington Post reports.

Wrote Hegseth on social media: “No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, Patriots.”

“Hegseth’s swift intervention in the case raised immediate questions about whether the military can hold its own accountable for actions that Hegseth may deem politically favorable.”
