NEW STORY: Hegseth says he wants a “ruthless”overhaul the way the military’s lawyers are organized. But current and former JAGs and members of the military tell us that they are alarmed and deeply suspicious of the secretary’s intentions. @missy_ryan @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/national-secur…

That anxiety would appear to be well placed: “The people who express alarm over this policy are either people who are unfamiliar with the problem, or who are part of the problem themselves,” Tim Parlatore, a Hegseth adviser, told us. @missy_ryan @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/national-secur…

Joined @alivitali and @WayTooEarly to discuss our scoop on the *two* new federal investigations into the 2020 election in AZ- and why those inside the government are sounding the alarm about the implications for the midterms and future elections.

Important story and conversation with former colleague and forever friend @S_Fitzpatrick

@LondonMilan777 @alivitali @WayTooEarly Thank you for watching, and for the kind words!

@S_Fitzpatrick @alivitali @WayTooEarly It's always a good day when Sarah Fitzpatrick is on TV, but we need more of that. Such a talented journalist.

Looking forward to joining @alivitali and @WayTooEarly this morning!

imagine going from searching for a scammer on a sprinter van loaded with real housewives in a parking lot outside beauty lab + laser ... to investigating the security of an election that happened six years ago

@gracewein @gracewein EXCELLENT POINT! this made my day ! 👀👀👀❤️ one of my journalism white whales is a profile of everyone involved in that investigation !

NEW: DHS and FBI are now *both* investigating the 2020 election results in Arizona, the latest part of the Trump administration’s escalating effort to use the federal government to vindicate the president’s claims that the election was stolen. @yvonnewingett @NickMiroff @TheAtlantic
