Pentagon Nuclear Safety Official Removed After Undercover Recording

Andrew Hugg, a senior Army nuclear safety official, was removed from the Pentagon after an undercover video showed him sharing restricted information in a public restaurant. In the recording, he talked about U.S. chemical agents, said a military chemist had died from exposure, described Iranian children killed in a U.S. strike as collateral damage, and discussed the idea of targeting Iran’s next Supreme Leader. The Army has placed him on leave while it investigates.
