Hegseth staff damaged WWII-era Eisenhower globe trying to move it to his office
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s staffers damaged a historic globe used by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower during World War II when they tried to move it to his office at his request, three U.S. officials confirmed to NBC News.
The incident happened in February after Hegseth said he wanted the globe, mounted in a wooden frame, in his office, the officials said.
The globe was one of at least two that Eisenhower had, the officials said, and it was especially notable because it had green pen or marker notations where Eisenhower marked areas in Europe during World War II.
