Tap title to read story
Senator Jack Reed is demanding a full Department of Defense investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's use of the Signal app to share sensitive military information with unauthorized individuals, including family members. This follows reports of Hegseth sharing details of planned airstrikes in Yemen and other sensitive operations via Signal group chats. Reed, who opposed Hegseth's nomination, cites concerns about Hegseth's lack of experience and judgment, arguing his actions endanger national security. The Pentagon's Inspector General is already investigating the initial incident, but Reed believes a broader inquiry is necessary given the severity of the situation. Rumors suggest the White House is seeking a replacement for Hegseth.
