Top defense officials accidentally included a journalist in an encrypted conversation about sensitive airstrike plans in Yemen, leading to a significant security breach. This incident raises questions of accountability, especially considering these same officials previously criticized Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other officials have called for harsh penalties for inappropriate handling of classified information, highlighting a stark double standard in the treatment of security violations.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was adamant that anyone engaging in similar acts should be summarily punished, citing that security professionals face severe consequences for breaches.
Hegseth condemned Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, expressing that any security professional would be fired and prosecuted for similar conduct.
