Hugo Lowell reports for the Guardian<\/em> in a 9 May 2025 article titled, “White House to take choice of Pentagon chief of staff out of Hegseth’s hands”<\/a> that the White House Office of Presidential Personnel has forbidden Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth from making Ricky Buria, whom Hegseth designated in April 2025<\/a> as a “Senior Advisor,” his chief of staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lowell’s anonymous sources appear to have wanted to publicly denigrate Buria, and among other things, disclosed the results of a polygraph examination Buria underwent in connection with an as-yet-unsolved leak investigation<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Buria also recently failed to pass a polygraph test that was administered as part of the leak investigation. The polygraph came back as inconclusive, the officials said, a result that would ordinarily require him to retake the test before he could be cleared.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The disclosure of Buria’s polygraph results to the Guardian<\/em> is an apparent violation of the Privacy Act of 1974. It should be noted that polygraph “testing” has no scientific basis<\/a> and that there is no documented instance of it ever solving a federal leak investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
