The wide-ranging leak investigation into the Pentagon continues to claim major scalps.
Politico reported this afternoon that a third top official in the Defense Department was put on administrative leave Wednesday.
The man in question is Colin Carroll, chief of staff to Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported Secretary Pete Hegseth placed Deputy Chief of Staff Darin Selnick on administrative leave. This action followed an ongoing investigation into unauthorized disclosures of sensitive military information.
Selnick, an Air Force veteran and former senior adviser to Concerned Veterans for America, was escorted from the Pentagon on Tuesday.
A few hours earlier on Tuesday, TGP revealed that top Hegseth advisor Dan Caldwell was escorted out of the Pentagon on Tuesday for “an unauthorized disclosure.”
According to Reuters, this suspension came after a March 21 memo ordering a Pentagon investigation into leaks ordered by Pete Hegseth’s chief of staff.
As TGP notes, Caldwell was also part of the Mike Waltz Houthi Signal chat group. It is unclear whether his removal is tied to that incident.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
