A reporter for the far-right outlet Breitbart whose last story surrounded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon leaks investigation is leaving her role to enter the Trump administration. Kristina Wong, the outlet’s Pentagon correspondent, has accepted a role as the new director of communications and chief spokesperson for the Department of the Navy, Secretary John Phelan announced on X on Tuesday. “My job is to keep you up to date on what the secretary has been doing, his top priority, and happenings across the Navy and Marine Corps,” Wong said in a video accompanying the announcement. The former reporter’s Breitbart page shows she covered mostly politics, with her last piece on April 15 reporting on two top advisers to Hegseth–Dan Caldwell and Darin Selnick–who were walked out of the Pentagon and placed on leave after a probe into media leaks. The report contains a quote from an unnamed defense official who said Caldwell was leaking information to “far-left reporters to hurt the secretary.” The story did not mention any reference to Wong being considered for a position. She moved to Breitbart in 2017. Before Breitbart, Wong worked at The Washington Times and The Hill. “I’m so grateful to @breitbartnews for the opportunity to be part of the hardest working news team in the biz!” Wong wrote in an X post on Tuesday. “I will miss everyone there!”
