The Post article then stated that Hegseth, in turn, blamed Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg for failing to fully brief the president. She wrote, “I was at Camp David with President Trump and Secretary Hegseth. “Secretary Hegseth did not mislead anyone about our munitions posture, and he did not blame Deputy Secretary Feinberg … These claims about depleted stockpiles, internal disagreements, the secretary’s position on Iran … are equally fictional,” Parnell said. “Secretary Hegseth, CENTCOM Commander Admiral Cooper, and Chairman Caine stand completely aligned and are united in mission, strategy, and resolve regarding overseas operations involving Iran,” he added. Hegseth has also dismissed reports claiming the Pentagon is running dangerously low on key missile interceptors, accusing CNN of spreading “Fake News.”
