在国防部长皮特·海格斯（Pete Hegseth）的传播办公室有争议的开端之后，前五角大楼发言人约翰·乌利洛特（John Ullyot）在本周被要求辞职当指令引起了公众抗议，当时杰基·罗宾逊（Jackie Robinson）和其他人的民族英雄的形象被删除。乌利奥特（Ullyot）周三告诉Politico，他决定辞职。 A senior defense official familiar with the decision said that wasn’t the case and that Hegseth’s office had requested that Ullyot resign.Ullyot did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Ullyot’s departure Wednesday was not tied to the Defense Department's ongoing investigation into unauthorized disclosures of information, which so far has led to three other senior Pentagon aides being escorted out of the building.Colin Carroll, chief of staff to Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen费恩伯格； Hegseth副参谋长Darin Selnick；其他两名官员说，在泄漏调查中，赫格斯的助手丹·考德威尔（Dan Caldwell）被放假。这并不清楚泄漏导致出发事件的原因。所有三名官员都在匿名的情况下发表了匿名的条件，讨论尚未公开的细节。她以前曾是五角大楼局局媒体集团的负责人。
