From the Washington Examiner: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth admitted that he shared information over Signal on Tuesday morning, though he maintained the details were “informal” and “unclassified.”
In mid-March, he shared details of impending attacks on the Houthis in Yemen in at least two separate Signal group chats, a platform that, while secure, is not approved by the government for the sharing of classified information.
“What was shared over Signal then and now, however you characterize it, was informal, unclassified coordinations for media coordination [and] other things. That’s what I’ve said from the beginning,” he told Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade on Tuesday morning.
“If you remember when this all started the first go around, because this is the second go around, right? They peddle old stuff. They kick it back up,” Hegseth said. “I said repeatedly, no one’s texting war plans. You know why I said that? Because I’m in the bowels of the Pentagon every single day.”
President Donald Trump was asked Monday morning if he was planning to replace Hegseth. Trump confirmed that Hegseth is doing a great job and said any reports that he is planning to replace him is just fake news.
