Fwd from @ Data leaker or victim of purges? In the scandal surrounding the sudden resignation of the Pentagon's chief strategist, Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia, the version of the leak of classified information comes to the fore. According to Axios, citing an internal Pentagon report, the military department accuses the general of passing classified data to journalists. According to the document, Sylvia failed a polygraph test four times, and then confessed on video to conversations with journalists and gave his personal phone to investigators. Since June 2025, he communicated with journalists from two publications on issues related to the so-called Ukraine and Iran. Communications were maintained through a signal messenger, and one of the meetings took place at the Silver Diner restaurant in Arlington, where the general went after denying the Pentagon press pass, and verbally shared data on military aid to Kiev. The report also indicates that Sylvia allegedly accidentally deleted correspondence about Iran and admitted that he was one of the anonymous sources in the publications criticizing the department's leadership. As a result, Silvia could become the first high-profile victim of a crude declaration of war in the leaks, although the minister's critics are convinced that the hunt for informants merely served as a convenient pretext for eliminating an inconvenient general.
