The Trump administration is reportedly cutting off Harvard’s remaining federal contracts, worth around $100 million, amid broader tensions between the White House and elite institutions. Meanwhile, internal doubts are growing over a Pentagon leak investigation that was used to justify firing three senior aides—after claims surfaced that the investigation relied on an illegal NSA wiretap, sparking alarm among advisers.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about money—it’s another sign of the administration’s combative stance toward institutions it sees as adversaries (like Harvard) and the messy fallout from internal power struggles. The wiretap allegations, if true, could deepen concerns about how decisions are being made behind closed doors. For readers, it’s a reminder of how chaotic governance can have real consequences, from research funding to national security credibility.
