US EditionWhite House ‘struggling to find qualified people’ to serve under Pete Hegseth
- The White House is struggling to find qualified advisers and aides willing to work for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth amid ongoing Pentagon turmoil as of June 10, 2025.
- Hegseth's tenure has seen staff suspensions and departures related to a leak investigation of sensitive military information shared via Signal chats in March, generating widespread questions.
- Vice President JD Vance and Susan Wiles, the chief of staff at the White House, have been involved in recruiting new personnel for Hegseth’s team; however, their efforts have been hindered by political disagreements over certain candidates.
- Hegseth claims his departmental cuts will save $300 million and boost weapons testing efficiency, while experts warn this may compromise critical safety testing processes before field deployment.
- The staffing challenges and controversy surrounding Hegseth reflect broader Pentagon instability and raise concerns about the military's ability to safely adopt new technologies amid political pressures.
