As Pete Hegseth and other Trumpists furiously attack reports that Trump’s Iran bombing failed, a veteran national security lawyer explains why this MAGA propaganda is taking us to a dangerous place.
President Donald Trump and his top advisers have worked themselves up into a fury about the leaked intelligence assessment casting doubt on the success of Trump’s bombing of Iran. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unleashed a wild, angry rant about it during a presser with Trump, viciously attacking intelligence officials for leaking the assessment.
