US nuclear chief Andrew Hughes has been dramatically “extricated from the Pentagon” this evening over what is being described as a “sensitive leak”, according to reports.
Army spokesperson Cynthia O. Smith said: “We have placed Mr. Hughes on administrative leave while we thoroughly investigate this matter.”
It comes after freelance journalist James O’Keefe released video footage online purportedly showing the army chief revealing “sensitive” information.
Former Army Colonel Douglas McGregor posted: “US nuclear chief Andrew Hughes kicked out of Pentagon.”
