Trump seeks blame target
U.S. President Donald Trump is looking for officials to hold responsible for Republican losses in the midterm elections, which were linked to criticism of his administration’s handling of the war with Iran. Those who could face scrutiny include Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine, and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper, for offering overly optimistic assessments of the war and failing to spell out its risks and costs. Caine and Cooper appear more likely to be held accountable, while Trump has said he does not intend to fire Hegseth. The Pentagon is expected to face tougher congressional oversight and Democratic investigations into the management of the war and military decisions.
