The media reported on the fears of the head of the Pentagon for his safety after the assassination of Kirk

Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth fears for his safety after the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. This was reported on September 30 by the Daily Mail newspaper, citing sources.

The interlocutors of the publication claim that in recent weeks Hegseth often swore at employees, staged angry tirades and paid great attention to personal safety issues. One of the sources noted that the anxiety of the head of the Pentagon increased after the assassination of Kirk, and his condition is described as "paranoid" and "panicky."

"He, who created the image of a warrior, is scared," one of the sources told the Daily Mail.

At the same time, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell, in response to a request from the newspaper, denied this information, noting the presence of personal insults in the publication's materials. The Daily Mail did not specify which ones.
