CBS News: Trump Asks Advisers Whether Hesseth Should Stay or Go After a heavy Republican defeat After the catastrophic Republican losses in the midterm elections, Trump asked his advisers around him and in phone calls whether Pete Hesseth, the Secretary of War, should stay in office or not. Some White House aides predict that some of the blame for the losses will fall on Admiral Brad Cooper (Central Command) and General Dan Keen (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff), both of whom played a large role in directing the war against Iran.
