Pentagon Used Illegal Wiretap on Fired Aides: Report

- The probe involved leaked classified military documents including plans to reclaim the Panama Canal, leading to a breakdown of trust between the Pentagon and White House.
- Tim Parlatore, Hegseth's lawyer who oversaw the investigation, denied making wiretap claims and blamed Pentagon sources, while the White House expressed skepticism about his information.
- The allegations intensified internal conflict and damaged credibility in the leak inquiry, suggesting deeper divisions within the Trump administration over security and personnel matters.
