He<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2025\/03\/signal-group-chat-attack-plans-hegseth-goldberg\/682176\/\" target=\"_blank\"> released a transcript of the discussions<\/a> on Wednesday after White House officials insisted that it included no classified or secret information.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2025\/03\/26\/obviously-classified-experts-say-hegseth-chat-leaks-invited-danger\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8914572.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">\u2018Obviously classified\u2019: Experts say Hegseth chat leaks invited danger<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Former U.S. defense officials said the unsecured messaging chain could have jeopardized the operation and put American lives at risk.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The screenshots include details of attack plans hours before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/03\/17\/us-strikes-dozens-of-houthi-sites-in-yemen-as-broader-campaign-begins\/\" target=\"_blank\">the launch of F\/A-18s and Tomahawk missiles at Houthi militant sites <\/a>in Yemen, particulars the lawmakers called concerning in their letter to the inspector general\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf true, this reporting raises questions as to the use of unclassified networks to discuss sensitive and classified information, as well as the sharing of such information with those who do not have proper clearance and need to know,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White House and Pentagon officials have insisted that no information was improperly shared on the commercial app. More than 30 Democratic lawmakers, meanwhile, have called for Hegseth to resign or be fired, calling his actions a serious breach of public trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c[Hegseth] lacks the judgement and character to lead America\u2019s national defense,\u201d Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a floor speech on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe information he shared on Signal is shocking. He sent very specific details about military plans over unsecured text messages. We need more answers, because more damage may have been done than the public and all of us know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White House officials said they will cooperate with the probe, while still insisting the scandal is a media-driven hoax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have never denied that this was a mistake, and the national security adviser took responsibility for that,\u201d White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a press event Thursday. \u201cAnd we have said we are making changes. We are looking into the matter to ensure it can never happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hegseth and Pentagon officials have taken an even more aggressive approach, attacking Goldberg for what they call exaggerations and fear mongering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wicker has not committed to committee hearings on the issue, even as Democratic lawmakers have pushed for Hegseth to testify publicly on the controversy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Armed Services Committee leaders also have not said whether they expect to hold open sessions on the information sharing concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican and Democratic leaders on the Senate Armed Services Committee are requesting a
