Nuclear Chief Busted on Hidden Camera Dropping Sensitive Info - Quickly Placed on Leave

An O'Keefe Media undercover investigation has unmasked a chief of chemical nuclear surety for the U.S. government spilling sensitive information and military tactics to a complete stranger. The undercover reporter the chief was speaking with filmed the entire exchange. The 14-minute video is embedded below.

O'Keefe summarized the exchange in an X post. He wrote:

Andrew Hugg, a U.S. Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety, was caught on hidden camera casually revealing sensitive information to a stranger in a public restaurant. Andrew Hugg, Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety, in charge of nuclear and chemical safety was caught on hidden camera releasing information regarding the U.S. Nuclear Information. He claims the U.S. still possesses nerve agents and says a U.S. Army chemist recently died from exposure.

Hugg also revealed that the airstrikes conducted under Operation Epic Fury had killed children in Iran. O'Keefe further stated that Hugg leaked intelligence surrounding plans in the works to take out Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.

He also acknowledges U.S. airstrikes have killed children in Iran, calling it “collateral damage,” and revealed to the journalist how nuclear launch decisions are made in real time.
Hugg described how the United States could assassinate Iran’s next leader if he “doesn’t change,” while admitting the U.S. has no plans to use nuclear weapons: “We’re not going to nuke anybody.”
All of this was casually revealed to an undercover journalist in a restaurant. This raises serious questions about this official's judgment, security, and what’s really happening behind closed doors.

After the video dropped, Hugg quickly scrubbed his LinkedIn profile and other social media.

US Nuke Chief Andrew Hugg was just ESCORTED out of the Pentagon around 1 hour ago. Hugg has been placed on LEAVE and is under investigation.

As noted in the X post above, U.S. Army Spokesperson Cynthia O. Smith said, “We have placed Mr. Hugg on administrative leave while we conduct a thorough investigation into this matter.”
