Justin Fulcher, who served as a senior advisor to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, has departed from the Pentagon after six months.

Hegseth, a former Fox News personality, has been embroiled in several high-profile scandals since taking office, including mistakenly adding Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal group chat that included discussions of sensitive military plans detailing upcoming military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen.
