HEGSETH GHOSTED NAVY SEAL'S FAMILY AFTER PROMISING TO INVESTIGATE SUSPICIOUS DEATH
SecDef Pete Hegseth privately agreed the evidence in Commander Job Price's 2012 death "does not add up to suicide" and promised to help investigate. Then he disappeared.
In private texts to a friend of the Price family in 2023, Hegseth validated their suspicions about Price's death in Afghanistan: "Nobody — nobody — would be caressing their pillow while taking their own life. I agree, it does not add up at all to suicide."
He also discussed having Fox News cover the story and promised to "help another way" if an opportunity arose in government.
THEN HE GHOSTED. Despite now leading the Pentagon in an administration claiming to be pro-military, Hegseth has taken zero action on Price's case. The family received no follow-up.
THE IRREGULARITIES:
• Death scene left unattended for 9 hours
• Body washed, dressed, and skullcapped despite being evidence in an active investigation
• Head positioned unnaturally facing the direction of the shot
• Bullet casing found inexplicably under the body
• Blood patterns suggesting the body was moved
• No conclusive ballistics analysis
Only one witness reported hearing a noise (described as "like a wooden pallet dropping")
This isn't Hegseth's first betrayal. Trump Jr. also promised in 2016 to reopen the case if his father became president. Trump served four years. Nothing happened.
Hegseth used his Fox platform to secure presidential pardons for three men in war crimes cases during Trump's first term. But a SEAL commander with a potentially botched death investigation? No political upside. So he abandoned the family.
Thank you for watching this comeback show with my good friend Matt Cubbler - The full version with all resource links can be found here: https://t.co/BEOmaaZEpu For years, Former Army Veteran Matt Cubbler has fought to blow open the story behind the death of Navy Seal Commander Job Price. Now, there has been a huge positive development, with The Washington Post placing the story on its front page. Read it here: https://t.co/5nG2z4seG6
What makes the story even more remarkable is that both Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump Jr. have been shown the evidence (verified by text messages) that shows they agree—this was not a suicide, as ruled by the military. While both men expressed interest in helping bring attention to the case, they fell silent once they rose to positions of greater influence and power.
Tonight, Matt @2datesandadash joins me to discuss the evidence, why the Washington Post was willing to take the story, and why he believes the truth about Job Price is going to go mainstream —with your help.

⚠️ This was not some random cold case. There were conversations, promises, Trump family connections, Navy implications, and a family begging for answers. Then suddenly, silence. @2datesandadash lays it out.
