The intervention came after Patrick Weaver, a close adviser to the defense secretary, said he was offended by the suggestion that he be tested. Hegseth initiated the tests as part of a campaign to combat Pentagon leaks, but the White House has called for them to stop, pointing out that polygraph tests are not recognized in court and their effectiveness is disputed.
