Hegseth says suspensions lifted for helicopter crews who hovered over Kid Rock home

Pentagon chief’s remarks come after US army said crews suspended amid investigation into incident in Tennessee

Defense secretary Pete Hegseth said the crews of two US army AH-64 Apache helicopters that hovered next to the singer Kid Rock’s swimming pool while he clapped and saluted on Saturday are no longer suspended.

“No punishment. No investigation,” Hegseth wrote on social media. “Carry on, patriots.”
