Pentagon Orders Polygraph Tests Amid Hunt for Leakers Over Weapons Stock Reports

The Trump administration has ordered polygraph tests for Pentagon staff as part of an investigation into leaks, according to a report by Al Jazeera.

The move follows reports of dwindling US weapons stockpiles, which the outlet said triggered an unusually sweeping search for the source of the leaks within the Department of Defense.

Al Jazeera reported that the scale of the leak hunt is notable, though further details on the scope of the polygraph program, the number of staff affected, or the specific weapons stock reports in question were not immediately available.

This is a developing story and further details may emerge as the investigation continues.
