BlockBeats message, April 4, according to the New York Post, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been described as paranoid over concerns that his position could be replaced by Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, leading to Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George being ordered to resign immediately. It is reported that George is Driscoll’s senior aide, and Hegseth has not publicly explained the reason for the resignation request.

Anonymous officials said that this move stems from Hegseth’s personal insecurity after the 2025 Signalgate incident, and tensions inside the Pentagon are currently escalating amid the Iran war.
