Did Defense Secretary Hegseth Allegedly Try to Cash In on a War He Was About to Start?
The Financial Times reported that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Morgan Stanley broker contacted BlackRock in February 2026 about a multimillion‑dollar investment in the iShares Defense Industrials Active ETF (IDEF) weeks before the U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iran. The Pentagon issued a categorical denial, while House Oversight Democrats sent formal demand letters to Hegseth, Morgan Stanley and BlackRock seeking records. The IDEF fund, launched in May 2025, saw assets under management climb to roughly $3.1 billion by March 2026, but was not available on Morgan Stanley’s platform at the time of the alleged inquiry. The episode occurs amid a broader pattern of suspiciously timed trades around Trump‑era policy moves and a weakened federal enforcement landscape.
