Jaw-Dropper: Susan Rice Is Still at the Pentagon, Even as Trump Is President and Hegseth Is SecDef
A former senior adviser to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth who lost his job last week amid an investigation into press leaks from the Pentagon — pointed the finger in a different direction during an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Dan Caldwell, who has been placed on “administrative leave,” told Carlson in the interview released Monday that the Pentagon is rife with opponents of President Donald Trump and his administration’s goals. Those are where the leaks are coming from, he said.
But there’s a “less obvious place” that’s a possibility, he suggested. And he named one name that shocked viewers who remember one of the most disgraceful episodes of the Barack Obama presidency.
Caldwell revealed that Susan Rice, the former ambassador to the United Nations during the Obama administration, is a member of the Defense Policy Board, an advisory panel to the Defense secretary.
Uhhh? Why is Obama’s UN Ambassador, Susan Rice, still allowed at the Defense Department.
She’s on the Defense Policy Board.
Someone fire her before I wake up tomorrow.pic.twitter.com/1Q8U4YVtdH

“Now, that doesn’t mean she can go in the building and get access whenever she wants, but it means that she works with DoD employees. She can interact with them and has the credential and the affiliation with the Department of Defense,” Caldwell said.
Unfortunately, Rice’s biggest “credential” is selling a whopping lie to the American people.
After the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on an American diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, Rice went on a series of Sunday talk shows to talk about the motivations of the attackers.
