Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reported at least $3.1 million in cash, retirement investments and Bitcoin in his newly released 2025 annual financial disclosure, including more than $1 million held in a single bank account. The Office of Government Ethics filings provides the latest look at the finances of the former firebrand Fox News host, who was confirmed as defense secretary in January 2025. Hegseth is currently facing calls to be impeached from members of his own party related to his handling of the war in Iran. Tap the link in bio for more details.

@the_cadillac_lawyer SMH, poor guy. That’s a rounding error compared to the haul everyone else pulled

@frankr0984 So what?

@tomtaylor7641 What a thief?

@brickdon.official Hegseth has $3.1 million and Bitcoin. At last, a defense secretary whose portfolio can invade inflation.

@gail.a.scott Profiting from your political office is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. If we actually had a DOJ or FBI, you’d be prosecuted.

@thewatsonator91 Yeah probably all in bloody oil investments

@redlands_rangers Gettin’ rich killin’

@kendallhall22 The most corrupt administration ever!

@kurominafa That’s considered poor for a politician.

@flexspacehawaii So what.

@rafaelrodriguez1568 Stole it

@kiamir2023 💚🤍❤️🦁☀️ At present which politician in the world is there who can bring millions of people to the streets with a single call? Today which popular leader in the world is there for whom more than one hundred thousand people have sacrificed their lives in just two nights? Yet #Shah_Reza_Pahlavi, in exile and outside his own country, empty-handed, without resources, and without power, was able to bring millions of people to the streets with a single call, especially in a country where the murderous Islamic Republic is established. Can even Trump or Macron, with so much power and so many resources, bring millions of people to the streets while there is freedom in their countries and people feel secure that if they go to the streets to demonstrate, they will not be massacred? But for Reza Shah II, while the people knew that a murderous regime was in front of them, they came to the streets in unbelievable numbers throughout Iran. And the media cleverly and consciously censors this issue: ⭕ Reza Pahlavi is currently the most popular, most widely supported, most patriotic, most determined political fighter, and most experienced political figure in the world. #SHAH_REZA_PAHLAVI has 80 million fans in IRAN #MASSACRE_in_IRAN 👑👑👑👑👑👑

@jetbellymusic Incompetent at his job. Better at grift.
