LEAK: Pentagon Inspector General CLASSIFIED Report Finds Hegseth’s Signal Chat Violated Regulations, Put US Personnel at Risk
Another day, another leak.
The Pentagon’s Inspector General found that Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Signal chat violated regulations and may have put US personnel in the region at risk.
Of course, the information was leaked to the legacy media.
According to CNN, the Inspector General report is classified – so who leaked the information to the legacy media?
CNN, AP, CBS and Politico reported on the findings on Wednesday.
“The Pentagon’s watchdog found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth put U.S. personnel and their mission at risk when he used the Signal messaging app to convey sensitive information about a military strike against Houthi militants in Yemen, two people familiar with the findings said Wednesday,” AP reported.
“Hegseth, however, has the ability to declassify material and the report did not find he did so improperly, according to one of the people familiar with the report’s findings who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the information. CNN first reported the initial findings,” AP reported.
The Pentagon’s IG report on Hegseth was delivered to members of Congress, who then reviewed it in a SCIF.
“The review by the Pentagon inspector general’s office was delivered to lawmakers, who were able to review the report in a classified facility at the Capitol. A partially redacted version of the report was expected to be released publicly later this week,” AP reported.
The Pentagon Inspector General expanded his investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of the double-encrypted app Signal in May.
Steven Stebbins took over as Acting Inspector General after President Trump fired the previous IG and 17 other inspectors general.
Stebbins was first appointed to his position in 2015.
Pete Hegseth has been under heavy attack since before his confirmation hearing and the leaks keep coming.
The Pentagon Inspector General expanded his probe following The Wall Street Journal’s reporting on Hegseth’s wife and brother participating in Signal chat groups.
Pete Hegseth was blamed for not noticing Jeffrey Goldberg was added to the Signal chat group with other high-level Trump Administration officials.
Did Seditious Democrat Senator Mark Kelly leak the contents of the classified report to The Wall Street Journal?
BREAKING: In an effort to own Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over Signalgate, looks like Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly leaked classified information to the Wall Street Journal.
Last I checked, leaking classified info was bad. Will Sen. Kelly face any consequences?
