Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Tuesday claimed attack plans he shared with pals on a Signal group chat amounted to nothing more than “informal, unclassified” information. The embattled Pentagon chief insisted he did nothing wrong by using his personal phone to share detailed plans for U.

Don Bacon (R-Neb.) suggested Monday that Pete Hegseth should be fired as secretary of defense, reportedly becoming the first GOP House member to advocate for his ouster. NPR wrote Monday that the White House was already searching for a replacement after it was reported that Hegseth again shared classified information with outsiders on an imminent military attack in Yemen.
