Original: Exclusive: Hegseth directs Defense Dept. to fight foreigners who "meddle" in U.S. elections
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has directed the Department of Defense to take action against foreign actors who interfere, or attempt to interfere, in U.S. elections. The directive reportedly expands the Pentagon's role in countering election meddling by foreign governments, a domain historically led by intelligence agencies and the Department of Homeland Security.
Why now: A newly revealed directive from the Defense Secretary assigns the military a contentious role in domestic election protection.
