EXCLUSIVE:

🚨SECRETARY OF THE ARMY’S OFFICE PLOTTING COUP AT THE PENTAGON TO REMOVE @SecWar PETE HEGSETH AND REPLACE HIM WITH @SecArmy DAN DRISCOLL 🚨

Individuals in the office of US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll have been orchestrating a Coup against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @PeteHegseth in an effort to have him removed by President Trump and replaced by Dan Driscoll.

Over the last 2 weeks, the legacy media, which is incredibly hostile to Hegseth, has been posting puff pieces about Dan Driscoll and how he is a “rising star” at the Pentagon. Sources have told me that Jake Sullivan @jakejsullivan, the former National Security Advisor of the United States under Joe Biden, is very close friends with Dan Driscoll, and they have been friends since they both attended Yale Law School. Driscoll and Vice President Vance also met at Yale Law School, which is how Driscoll was nominated as Army Secretary.

High level sources at the Pentagon have confirmed to me that Sullivan has been planting stories in support of Driscoll because Sullivan wants Hegseth removed and replaced by Driscoll. Sullivan is worried Hegseth and President Trump are going to take action against the seditious 6, the 6 Democrat lawmakers who are now facing federal inquiries and an FBI investigation after they recorded a video in November 2025 urging US military service members not to follow “unlawful” orders, a message President Trump and Pete Hegseth have called “seditious."

One of the seditious 6 is Democrat Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander @RepGoodlander (D-NH), the wife of Jake Sullivan who goes by a different last name to hide the fact that she is married to Jake Sullivan. It is worth noting that Goodlander is a Naval Reserve Intelligence Officer, which means she could possibly face disciplinary action by Hegseth for her seditious behavior.

Goodlander and Sullivan got married in 2015. Some of guests at their wedding include Hillary Clinton, Lisa Monaco, Huma Abedin, Samantha Power, Victoria Nuland, and Antony Blinken, all of whom are anti-Trump Deep State operatives.

Sullivan previously served as Director of Policy to President Barack Obama, National Security Advisor to then-Vice President Biden and Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary @HillaryClinton at the U.S. State Department. Sullivan also served as senior advisor for the Iran nuclear negotiations and as a senior policy advisor to Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign against Donald Trump.

Hegseth has accused these 6 Democrat lawmakers of committing sedition, and he is even considering court marshaling Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly, one of the seditious 6.

According to FEC records, Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander, the wife of Jake Sullivan, donated a max donation of $2,800 to Dan Driscoll when he ran for Congress in 2020 in North Carolina.

Why would an anti-Trump, Democrat Congresswoman married to Jake Sullivan, one of the architects of the Russia Collusion hoax, donate to a Republican candidate for Congress who would later move on to be President Trump’s Army Secretary?

Jake Sullivan played a central role in the Clinton campaign's efforts to promote the Trump-Russia collusion story, including feeding journalists details about the fabricated Alfa Bank–Trump server allegations and linking the campaign to the discredited Steele dossier—claims that triggered years of investigations and were ultimately exposed as a partisan hoax. Additionally, as I previously reported, Driscoll posted a photo of himself earlier this year hanging out with Eugene Vindman, who collaborated with his brother Alexander Vindman to impeach President Trump over false allegations.

Now, Sullivan is working with high level Army officials in Army Secretary Dan Driscoll’s office to force Pete Hegseth out and install Dan Driscoll as Secretary of War, despite the fact that President Trump loves Pete Hegseth.

I will be asking about this attempted coup on Pete Hegseth at the upcoming Pentagon Press Briefing this week.

The evildoers continue. Many criminals never stop until incarceration or elimination.

Say what you will (or repeat what the waste stream media says) about Loomer, but she’s got some insights and, often, like a broken clock, is right once a day.

This rings true. Sounds like the kind of attempted coup that could go on in any organization.

Well, she’s doing something.

If there’s really a plot, the SecWar will deal with it.

If there’s not, he won’t be suckered into doing something stupid by Loomer.

...and then, 3 months after the event, up pops the coke boat controversy —from anonymous sources—with attempts to blame Hegseth.

Coincidence ?

Loomer has said that she’d like to officially be part of Trump’s administration.

I think Trump realizes she’s more effective where she is. She can get away with more in-depth investigation than she probably could with a position with Trump.

It’s like when bounty hunters can ignore protocols that cops can’t.

It’s not the Deep State, it’s the Deep Democrats. They never give up.

Driscoll should be packing up his shi!t in file boxes by the end of the week, and escorted to the exit.

Yeah, that seems like Step 1 — get rid of Driscoll.

Squeezing a drug racket which pays off Democrats always causes howling.

Trump’s going after their dirty money sources.

Agreed. Dan Driscoll’s loyalty needs a deep dive. Ambition is fine, attempted coup operations are not.

“If there’s not, he won’t be suckered into doing something stupid by Loomer.”

The friendships and connections can be easily determined, so that is not up for debate. If true, Driscoll should be fired immediately.

She may be on to something. I wondered why the second strike story-hoax was exploded across the media. Just complete lies. Andrew McCarthy wrote what he thought was piercing legal commentary on it and it was based on a false story — set him off like a racehorse coming out of the gate. I wonder if he will apologize. I doubt it.

President Trump should can Driscoll.

That would serve as a useful object lesson as to what happens when you are insubordinate.
