Summary
Retired General John Kelly is defending himself against a defamation lawsuit filed by Pete Hegseth. Hegseth sued Kelly over comments Kelly made during a 2024 congressional hearing regarding the alleged existence of a "discipline matrix" at the Department of Homeland Security. Kelly maintains his testimony was truthful and is asking a judge to dismiss the suit, asserting that his statements are protected legislative speech and factually accurate.
