According to the Financial Times, a broker for U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth attempted to make a big investment in major defense companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran.
The FT report said Hegseth's broker at Morgan Stanley contacted BlackRock in February, about making a multimillion-dollar investment in the asset manager's Defense Industrials Active ETF.
The investment discussed by Hegseth's broker did not ultimately go ahead as the fund was not yet available for Morgan Stanley clients to buy.
Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the story was "entirely false and fabricated" and demanded a retraction.
