Pentagon Launches Leak Investigation Using Polygraph Tests

Defense officials aim to identify and prosecute unauthorized disclosures of classified information, while addressing concerns over the reliability of polygraphs.

The Pentagon has announced an investigation into recent leaks of national security information, with plans to use polygraph tests as part of the process.
A memo from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's chief of staff, Joe Kasper, stated that any identified leakers will be referred for criminal prosecution.
President Trump and Pentagon officials denied reports that Elon Musk, who recently visited the Pentagon, was briefed on U.S. military plans for a potential conflict with China.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has also employed polygraph tests to identify leakers within her department, leading to the identification of two individuals for prosecution.
The Justice Department has launched a separate investigation into the selective leak of classified information about the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
