The report confirms he transmitted nonpublic, time-sensitive operational details—including the number and strike times of U.S. aircraft entering hostile territory—over an unapproved, unsecure group chat just hours before those missions. Any junior officer who disclosed SECRET-level information on a personal phone would face immediate discipline. Instead, the Secretary tried to justify his actions by selectively ‘declassifying’ strike details for convenience and then refused to cooperate with investigators. Our servicemembers entrust their leaders with decisions that can mean the difference between life and death. Even in redacted form, this report makes clear these violations recklessly placed operations—and American lives—in jeopardy. Secretary Hegseth should resign.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
