The Pentagon’s plots grow, conflict deepens and disrupts the world’s most powerful army.
The US Secretary of Defense shared highly sensitive details of the March attack on Yemen’s Iran-backed Houtsis with yet another signal group, including his wife, brother and personal lawyers, news reported this Monday.
The second signal chat group, First exposed According to the New York Times, 13 were included. In it, details of the airstrike were revealed. I said Reuters. Two sources of knowledge about the problem I said NBC News says that Hegseth has leaked the finest information despite being told by his aides.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said: “Details continue to come out. We’re continuing to learn how Pete Hegses risks his life. But Trump is still too weak to fire him. Pete Hegses has to be fired.”
Heggs is absolutely silent
Verification of the second signaling chat group raises further concerns regarding the use of Hegses in unclassified messaging systems due to highly sensitive security information. What’s potentially surprising is that his spokesman claims it’s fake news spread by “Trump-hating media,” but Hegses has not declared it a word.
This comes at the moment tensions in the Pentagon escalate due to the firing of three high-level officials as part of an investigation into the initial leak of another signal chat that includes a journalist.
According to Reuters, Hegses once again shared very sensitive details similar to what was revealed in March Atlantic Oceanits editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was incorrectly included.
Jennifer, the wife of former Fox news producer Hegseth, attended sensitive meetings with her foreign military counterparts, despite regulations governing top-secret information, and his brother was hired by the Pentagon as a Homeland Security Liaison Bureau and Senior Advisor.
The White House says it’s another “non-staircase”
After the initial leak, Donald Trump dismissed the original leak as “a possible happening.” His deputy press secretary, Anne Kelly, said the second leak was also “non-stairs,” suggesting that a disgruntled former Pentagon employee was spreading false claims.
“No matter how many times legacy media attempts to revive the same non-story, it cannot change the fact that the categorized information is not shared,” she said. “The recently fired ‘leaks’ continue to misrepresent the truth to ease their crushed ego and undermine the president’s agenda, but the administration continues to hold their accountable. ”
The Pentagon claims its “fake news”
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell, no evidence; A statement has been issued X reiterates Kelly’s claim that the classified information was not leaked for a second time.
“Trump-hating media continues to become obsessed with destroying anyone who has committed to Trump’s agenda. This time, all the other fake news that repeats the New York Times and the garbage, is enthusiastically receiving the complaints of a disgruntled former employee as the sole source of the article,” Parnell added.
Without providing evidence to support his accusations, Parnell suggested that the media relied on “the words of people who were fired this week and appear to have motives to interfere with the secretary and presidential agenda.”
Parnell had mentioned the expulsion of four officials from Hegses’ inner circle as the Pentagon conducts extensive investigation into information leaks.
Dan Caldwell, Heggs’ aide. Colin Carroll and Chief of Staff to Deputy Secretary of Defense Stephen Feinberg. And Darryn Selnick, Hegses’ deputy chief of staff, was escorted by the Pentagon. They all said they weren’t told why they were fired.
John Ulley, the top aide who resigned last week; I wrote Op-Ed In the case of Politico Magazine, it describes “Moon from Hell”, “Total Chaos”, and “Tummoil”, and the “confusion” that could ultimately lead to the firing of Hegses.
“President Donald Trump has a strong record to explain his top officials, and given that, it’s hard to see Defense Secretary Pete Hegses staying in his role for so long,” Uriott said. He also said the four Top Pentagon officials fired had nothing to do with the leak.
