DOJ and Pentagon announce joint task force to identify and prosecute government leakers
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on July 14, 2026 that the Department of Justice and the Pentagon have formed a joint task force to identify and prosecute unauthorized disclosures of sensitive national defense information. Hegseth said the Pentagon's Office of General Counsel will have authority to request all records related to leak investigations, with department personnel required to respond within 48 hours. The announcement follows DOJ subpoenas to Wall Street Journal and New York Times reporters over stories involving Iran war concerns and the Qatari-donated Air Force One aircraft.
