Pentagon weighs prosecution of ousted general accused of leaks

VIA NEWSMAX ON X:

The Trump administration has directed the military to explore bringing a criminal case against Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia, the Joint Staff’s ousted top planner accused of leaking sensitive information to journalists.

The move places Sylvia in legal jeopardy on two fronts, as War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s team had already referred its allegations to the Justice Department.

A US official told The Washington Post the matter was delegated “for appropriate disposition” to acting Army Secretary Adam Telle.
