White House Denounces CNN Report on Potential Cabinet Shakeup

Overview

• CNN published a story citing anonymous sources who described possible post–one‑year departures and friction at DHS and DOE, and floated Gov. Glenn Youngkin for potential openings.
• Press secretary Karoline Leavitt labeled the piece "100% Fake News," saying the White House repeatedly told CNN the claims were false and that the president is pleased with his Cabinet.
• The report alleged frustration with DHS adviser Corey Lewandowski and Energy Secretary Chris Wright, assertions administration officials rejected.
• CNN also reported internal talks about replacing War Secretary Pete Hegseth after a Signal disclosure and frustration with DNI Tulsi Gabbard over Iran policy, yet both remain in their posts.
• Officials voiced support for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and said no changes are planned, and the Daily Caller reported CNN did not respond to its request for comment.
