Report: Top Pentagon Spokesperson to Resign This Week

According to reports, former top Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot is set to resign from the Defense Department later this week. This is the same department where three top aides have recently been suspended during an internal probe.

“I made clear to Secretary Hegseth before the Inauguration that I was not interested in being number two to anyone in public affairs, but I would be happy to stand up the Pentagon press operation on an acting basis for two months and get President Trump’s pick up to speed once he came on board,” Ullyot said in a written statement to The Hill on Thursday.

“Last month, as that time approached, the Secretary and I talked and could not come to an agreement on another good fit for me at DOD, so I informed him today that I will be leaving at the end of this week,” he continued. “It’s been an honor to serve alongside him as part of President Trump’s team, and I remain one of the Secretary’s strongest supporters going forward.”

However, a defense official revealed that the spokesman “was asked to resign”

Ullyot filled the role of acting assistant to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for public affairs up until February. It was then that former U.S. Army airborne ranger and former Senate candidate Sean Parnell was selected as the  Pentagon’s chief spokesperson.
