Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a new joint task force with the Justice Department to “identify and prosecute” leaks to the press. In a video posted on social media, Hegseth thanked Attorney General Todd Blanche, saying that he was “proud that our departments are working together closer than we have ever before.” This comes just days after the Justice Department subpoenaed four journalists at The New York Times after they reported on security concerns over President Trump’s new plane which was donated to him by Qatar.
