Watan<\/strong><\/em>-Just two months into his second term, U.S. President Donald Trump is facing mounting troubles from within his own team\u2014despite efforts to project unity and control. While Trump has worked strategically to show cohesion inside his administration to both domestic and foreign audiences, cracks are emerging.<\/p>\n

Secretary of State Marco Rubio\u2014who hails from the traditional conservative wing of the Republican Party rather than the expanding MAGA movement\u2014has reportedly grown frustrated with being sidelined, as Trump\u2019s Middle East envoy, Steve Wietkov, takes on an increasingly prominent role. Wietkov is said to be operating beyond the bounds of his original assignment, raising concerns about overlapping responsibilities and internal power struggles.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, billionaire Elon Musk, owner of Tesla, SpaceX, and the social platform X (formerly Twitter), continues to stir trouble for Trump. The president is reportedly trying to contain the fallout from Musk\u2019s alleged interference in key government departments, including the Department of Defense (Pentagon), which Trump aims to “overhaul” both structurally and administratively.<\/p>\n

Leaks linked to Musk\u2019s involvement have fueled major controversy in Washington, where Trump\u2019s second-term administration\u2014heavily populated by business figures\u2014is dealing with hidden resistance from rivals looking to obstruct his agenda. This tension is prompting speculation about whether Trump will soon abandon Musk or initiate a rapid shakeup of his team, something he had promised to avoid this time after his first term, during which he famously fired officials via tweet.<\/p>\n

Pentagon Leak Investigation Launched<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On Saturday, the Pentagon announced a comprehensive investigation into the leaking of sensitive national security information\u2014just the latest in a series of similar probes under Trump\u2019s leadership. The situation echoes the secret documents leak during the final phase of Joe Biden\u2019s presidency, which involved Israeli plans for responding to an Iranian drone and missile attack launched from occupied Palestinian territories in October. At the time, a Pentagon employee (Asif Rahman) was arrested in Cambodia for the leak.<\/p>\n

This time, the Trump administration is reportedly open to using lie detector tests during the investigation.<\/p>\n

The current leak involves highly sensitive information. Reports indicate that the Pentagon had prepared a classified military plan outlining potential escalation scenarios with China, which was initially intended to be presented to Elon Musk during his visit to the Pentagon last Friday. The document reportedly detailed every stage of a possible conflict\u2014from detecting threats to outlining U.S. response options. However, other sources suggest the Pentagon ultimately decided against sharing the plan with Musk.<\/p>\n

In an official statement, Pentagon Chief of Staff Joe Kasper said the recent leaks\u2014especially involving \u201csensitive communications\u201d with department heads\u2014demand an immediate and thorough investigation. He confirmed that polygraph testing would be used where appropriate, and the results will be submitted to the Department of Defense along with recommendations to prevent future leaks. Anyone found to have exceeded their authority would face criminal prosecution.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security also announced that it would begin using lie detectors to prevent media leaks. The Department of Justice, meanwhile, opened a separate investigation into the leaking of classified information about the Venezuelan gang \u201cTren de Aragua.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump Responds: \u201cI Wouldn\u2019t Share That Plan With Anyone\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Speaking from the White House last Friday, President Trump firmly denied recent media reports about Elon Musk’s alleged involvement in military planning. However, he did acknowledge for the first time that Musk\u2019s business ties\u2014particularly with China\u2014could pose a potential conflict of interest. Musk currently heads the Office of Government Efficiency, where he is tasked with reducing federal spending.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t show that plan to anyone,\u201d Trump said. \u201cOf course, we\u2019re not going to show that to a businessman.\u201d He admitted that Musk does business with China, and that could influence him. Trump accused The New York Times of fabricating the entire story, claiming Musk\u2019s visit to the Pentagon was strictly to discuss budget cuts.<\/p>\n

On his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote: \u201cThe Pentagon did not brief Elon on anything related to China,\u201d labeling some media outlets \u201cenemies of the people.\u201d He dismissed the Times report as misleading, arguing that Musk\u2019s commercial ties to China could lead him to leak classified material to top Chinese officials.<\/p>\n

\"Speaking

Musk, who has long praised China, maintains deep business ties there\u2014particularly through Tesla\u2019s Shanghai factory, which alone produced half of Tesla\u2019s global vehicle output last year. SpaceX, meanwhile, holds government contracts reportedly worth $22 billion. His Pentagon visit, which lasted 80 minutes, included a meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. It remains unclear if generals joined the meeting via remote call.<\/p>\n

Musk called the Times article \u201cpropaganda\u201d and urged legal action against those spreading \u201cmalicious fake leaks.\u201d Hegseth, for his part, said the meeting with Musk focused only on innovation and efficiency.<\/p>\n

Though polygraph test results are not admissible in court, the Trump administration\u2019s willingness to use them signals a continued crackdown on internal dissent\u2014building on the wave of federal employee purges already underway. While not new (federal agencies have used polygraphs since the 1990s), their application is controversial. Agencies like law enforcement and national security regularly use them to vet sensitive personnel. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1998 that polygraph results cannot be used in military trials.<\/p>\n

George Maschke, a former U.S. Army interrogator and founder of AntiPolygraph.org, stated that lie detectors are unreliable and prone to false results. Still, they have long been used to intimidate potential leakers and prevent communication between insiders and journalists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
