President Donald Trump won’t ask for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s resignation following a report he divulged attack plans to his brother, wife and personal attorney, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday.

“The president stands strongly behind Secretary Hegseth, who is doing a phenomenal job leading the Pentagon,” Leavitt said during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.”

Hegseth, according to Leavitt, is being sabotaged by Pentagon insiders “working against the monumental change that we’re trying to implement.

“Secretary Hegseth was nominated for this position because he is standing up for the warfighter … and unfortunately there have been people at that building that don’t like the change the secretary is trying to bring, so they are leaking and they are lying to the mainstream media,” she continued.

On Monday, Hegseth claimed the report came after “disgruntled former employees” at the Pentagon were fired for leaking information to reporters.

“What a big surprise that a few leakers get fired and suddenly a bunch of hit pieces come out,” the secretary said during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

“This is what the media does,” Hegseth said.

“They take disgruntled former employees and then they try to slash and burn people and try to ruin their reputations. Not gonna work with me … anonymous smears from disgruntled former employees on old news doesn’t matter …”

On Sunday, The New York Times reported Hegseth shared Yemen attack plans in a Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal attorney.

“Some of those people said that the information Mr. Hegseth shared on the Signal chat included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting the Houthis in Yemen — essentially the same attack plans that he shared on a separate Signal chat the same day that mistakenly included the editor of The Atlantic,” The Times reported.
