Summary

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denied allegations that he texted classified war plans to a Signal group chat that mistakenly included The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg.

The National Security Council confirmed the chat’s authenticity but called the inclusion of Goldberg an inadvertent mistake.

Lawmakers from both parties demanded investigations, with former CIA Director Leon Panetta warning of potential espionage violations.

Hegseth dismissed Goldberg as a “deceitful” journalist. Trump denied knowledge of the incident.

    We are starting an office pool on how fast He goes into DT’s during Congressional questioning. It’s only fair that he sits in the chair at least as long as Hillary did.

      It’s adorable you think “fair” matters at all to these people.

      If anything, they’ll give him breaks to take emergency shots.
