Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces increasing scrutiny after four senior advisors quit, reportedly due to internal conflicts and revelations regarding his use of Signal for sensitive discussions. While Trump and Hegseth maintain a united stance against public backlash, concerns persist about Hegseth's adherence to security protocols, especially given that family members were involved in sensitive chats. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell defended Hegseth, dismissing critical reports as from disgruntled former employees. Yet, the situation raises serious questions about operational security within the Defense Department.
The implication is that if the media hadn't outed the Signal use, perhaps Hegseth may have continued risking leaks of confidential military information.
Sean Parnell, the chief Pentagon spokesman, joined the White House in pushing back against reports, claiming the NYT's sources are 'disgruntled' former employees.
