Political analysts and observers were aghast on Monday after a new report revealed that President Donald Trump's Defense Secretary has reached a new "height of criminality."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's stockbroker looked into purchasing a defense-related fund ahead of the Trump administration launching its self-described "excursion" in Iran, the Financial Times reported, citing "three people familiar with the matter."

"Hegseth’s broker at Morgan Stanley contacted BlackRock in February about making a multimillion-dollar investment in the asset manager’s Defense Industrials Active ETF, the people said, shortly before the U.S. launched military action against Tehran," the report reads in part.
