Pentagon insiders hide 'receipts' on Pete Hegseth in a gun safe, hoping to aid an impeachment if Democrats win the House

Pentagon insiders have been secretly compiling emails, memos and meeting notes for 22 months, stashing the files in gun safes, bank deposit boxes and West Coast hiding places, ready to hand to Democratic lawmakers if they retake the House in tomorrow's midterms. The dossier alleges Hegseth ignored strategic and legal advice, berated experts, withheld information from Congress and threatened subordinates he deemed too 'woke, fat, queer or disloyal'. Trump is separately reportedly soliciting opinions from allies about Hegseth's performance, with concerns that he has been painting the stalled Iran war in 'rosy terms'. One poll found half of veterans and active-duty personnel now disapprove of both Trump and Hegseth.

Hegseth's wife Jennifer Rauchet has reportedly earned the nickname 'Yoko Ono' inside the Pentagon for her perceived influence over him.

Hegseth's Pentagon has awarded Raytheon a no-bid $394 million contract extension despite the firm's admission to defrauding the military of over $111 million.
