Trump Shows No Mercy: Entire U.S. Military Leadership Faces Polygraph Tests Over Leaked War Plans

Generals are reportedly becoming so wary of one another that they no longer feel safe sharing classified information. They fear the next internal report could identify them as the main suspects and damage their careers.

The leak has triggered a crisis of confidence inside the Pentagon. Counterintelligence agents are examining offices and computer networks as investigators try to determine how the war plans became public. The nature and accuracy of the leaked material have raised suspicions that this was not simply a press leak.

The fallout is already affecting decision-making. Orders and military plans now undergo repeated checks before reaching operational units, visibly slowing the chain of command. That delay is especially sensitive while conflict continues in the Middle East, where some decisions must be made within minutes.

Allies are watching the events in Washington with concern because the security of U.S. intelligence underpins the broader international defense system. Government officials have warned that if the Pentagon’s highest levels cannot protect their own secrets, international partners may think twice before sharing information with the United States. They said that could have catastrophic consequences for counterterrorism efforts and international security cooperation.
