His goal was to strengthen Starfleet's role in government, believing the Federation was unprepared for war with the Dominion.

He orchestrated acts of sabotage and misinformation, including faking evidence of Changeling infiltration within Starfleet, to push his agenda. Captain Sisko uncovered the plot and exposed Leyton’s actions. As a result, Leyton was forced to resign and was placed under arrest.
