Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s chief of staff, who has been at the center of reports about chaos within the Pentagon, is leaving the Department of Defense, he told Politico Thursday.
Joe Kasper had reportedly faced complaints about his inappropriate workplace behavior, including derailing a meeting with a veteran’s group with a story about a night out at a strip club.
Hegseth had been expected to shift him to a different role within the Pentagon, but now Kasper has said he will return to work in government relations consulting.
He said he will continue to advise the Pentagon as a special government employee, limited to working at most 130 days a year.
