In a late-night Truth Social post, President Donald Trump reacted angrily to a report by The Washington Post detailing a tense encounter with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at Camp David. Trump, allegedly furious over being misled about depleted U.S. arms due to the Iran conflict, appeared to confirm the incident publicly, despite earlier denials from his aide Karoline Leavitt. Trump insisted the U.S. has ample munitions and warned that those leaking sensitive information would face long-term imprisonment.
Trump’s anger was reportedly triggered by a CNN report stating that 80% of U.S. air-defense interceptors had been used in the Iran war, leaving stockpiles dangerously low. Hegseth, in turn, blamed his deputy, Stephen Feinberg, who fielded a harsh call from Trump and held a Pentagon “crisis” meeting to address the issue.
The administration has faced multiple damaging leaks, including a secret White House meeting about the mishandling of the Jeffrey Epstein case files and concerns over a $400 million jet gifted by Qatar. Key aides, including Susie Wiles and Kash Patel, reportedly launched internal investigations to trace the sources of various leaks.
