| Hegseth staffers learn their fate after being suspended amid Signal scandal probe |
| 2025-04-19 |
| [MAIL] The three top staffers for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth who were suspended as part of the Signal group chat investigation have each been terminated. Darin Selnick, the Pentagon's deputy chief of staff, and Dan Caldwell - a senior adviser to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, were placed on administrative leave as part of the probe. Colin Carroll, chief of staff to Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg, was suspended a day later. All three have since been let go, a spokesman for the Pentagon told DailyMail.com Friday night. Hegseth's Chief of Staff Joe Kasper is also set to resign in the coming days, Politico reported. A senior defense official told DailyMail.com of Kasper and the other three: 'At this time no final senior staffing changes have been decided, and the Secretary will make any future announcements on his own timetable.' Kasper's departure would be especially curious, as he put in the request for an investigation into multiple leaks out of the Pentagon last month. 'Joe didn't like those guys,' an anonymous source said of Kasper's relationship with Caldwell, Selnick and Carroll.
