Summary

Wait a minute, did embattled Trump Sec of Defense Pete Hegseth just lie to Trump’s own advisors about using an illegal warrantless wiretap to justify firing 3 of his underlings in a phony “mole”/leak hunt? Or did Hegseth’s personal attorney lie to Trump’s advisors about using the illegal wiretap? Either one is bad for Hegseth, as the hunt for leaks in the Trump Administration just backfired and created a larger scandal for Hegseth. Michael Popok is back and reports.

0:00.0	Wait a minute. Did Pete Heggseth, the head of our Department of Defense, just use an illegal, warrantless wiretap by the National Security Agency in order to fire three people in his office?
0:14.7	Or was that a lie? And that was what was told to the Trump advisors by Heegsett's own personal lawyer who works at his office
0:24.6	because he's also in the military, a guy named Tim Parletore.
0:28.8	Which is it?
0:29.7	Did Tim Parletore lie?
0:31.5	Or did they actually use the unconstitutional illegal wiretap in order to fire three people?
0:36.6	Well, the Trump advisors,

1:26.3	And now we've got this new reporting. Let me lay out the cast
1:30.6	of characters and the players here. Tim Parlor-Torre, you may remember once represented Donald Trump
