Amid criticism, several Democratic lawmakers, led by Senator Mark Warner and House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, demanded the resignations of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Adviser Michael Waltz. Their call came after a report revealed that Hegseth disclosed sensitive military information in an unclassified Signal group chat, including details about attacks in Yemen. Jeffries described Hegseth's actions as reckless and a potential violation of the law, raising concerns about national security and the implications of unsafe communications among top defense officials.
When the stakes are this high, incompetence is not an option, he wrote in a post on social media. Pete Hegseth should resign. Mike Waltz should resign.
The so-called secretary of defense recklessly and casually disclosed highly sensitive war plans including the timing of a pending attack, possible strike targets and the weapons to be used.
