The White House is angry at the recent unrest in Pete Hegseth's office, which will prevent the U.S. Secretary of Defense from choosing the Chief of Staff and choosing its own candidate, according to two people familiar with the matter.

After Hegseth suggested submitting the staff position to Marines Ricky Buria, the first person in the position, Joe Kasper, left last month after a controversial leak investigation, which sparked the eviction of three other senior aides.

The People said the White House has made it clear to Hergs that he elevated Bria to his top assistant in the Pentagon due to his limited experience in junior military assistants and his recurring role in internal office dramas.

"Ricky won't get a major position," said one person who was directly familiar with the deliberation. "He doesn't have enough experience, lacks political paths, and almost everyone in the White House generally dislikes his people."

The White House has been selecting political appointments in institutions through the Presidential Personnel Office, but the move to stop Hergus from choosing at this juncture is unusual, reflecting Donald Trump’s intention to keep Hergus by trying to get him out of any wrong mistakes.

The intervention was conducted while Hegseth was operating the Pentagon capability. It also feels that even the president may be difficult to defend Heggs' survival in the beliefs inside Trump's track, if the secretary is not without scandal in the coming months.

It is said that the secretary had to fire the village after agreeing to a compromise: accepting the White House's choice in exchange for a new chief of staff in exchange for retaining Beria as a senior adviser. The White House and the Pentagon did not respond to requests for comment.

The Pentagon’s internal staffing status has enormous consequences as Hergs’ front desk is involved in policy deliberations and sensitive decisions by the Ministry of Defense, with the country’s budget exceeding $80 billion and oversight of more than two million units.

Hegseth's office currently accounts for only a small part of what is usually done, with about five senior consultants. "This didn't happen because no one was managing the front desk," said an official with knowledge of the situation.

The possibility of Buria becoming chief of staff scared the White House for a number of reasons. On the one hand, the White House Presidential Office of Personnel had previously rejected Hegseth's request to become a political appointment, but Buria has been operating in that capacity anyway, either.

Officials said Beria appears to be seen as acting head by a professional civilian employee in the deputy defense minister’s office, especially since he recently moved into the Chief of Staff’s office and took steps to renovate by bringing new furniture.

Buria has not recently passed a polygraph test conducted as part of a leak investigation. Officials say the lie detector is inconclusive, which usually requires him to retest before being removed.

In addition, Beria was identified as conveying some information in at least one signaling team about sensitive and imminent missile strikes Hotis in Yemen, officials said. The Wall Street Journal once reported About Buria's personal phone call to visit Hegseth.

Buria, a former MV-22 pilot who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, began rising in the Pentagon under Joe Biden’s Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. In a prestigious but not picky role, JMA is a personal assistant, but can use advanced operations.

When Heggs arrived, Beria continued to take on the role of JMA and quickly got intimate with Heggs and his wife Jennifer, traveled with the secretary and spent time at the secretary’s residence at Fort McNair.

Bria's influence expanded after Hegseth fired his boss, Lieutenant General Jennifer Short, who had been a senior military assistant. Buria enters work, usually held by three-star officers and attends bilateral meetings with foreign guests (foreign guests). The National Pulse Report said he also participated in a foreign policy brief.

When Lieutenant Christopher Laneve arrived as a permanent military assistant in Hegseth, Buria was expected to return to the JMA position. Instead, he told officials that he would retire from the military to become a political appointment for the Heggs office and take advantage of the power vacuum caused by Kasper's departure.
