The Pentagon Inspector General released an 84-page report on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s use of the double-encrypted Signal app for official business.
The Pentagon IG report claimed Pete Hegseth’s Signal chat violated regulations and may have put US personnel in the region at risk during a strike on Yemen.
Hegseth “created a risk to operational security that could have resulted in failed U.S. mission objectives and potential harm to U.S. pilots” the report said.
The report said that Hegseth did not share classified information in the Signal “Houthi” chat group.
In March, Jeffrey Goldberg, the anti-Trump editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, claimed he was accidentally added to a secure Signal group chat where top Trump administration officials discussed sensitive military operations against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President JD Vance were in a Signal group called “Houthi PC small group,” discussing plans to strike terrorists in Yemen.
After the first release of chats from the Signal group, Jeffrey Goldberg vowed to release the ‘war plans’ discussed in the text chain.
Goldberg released the second round of messages from the chat group on Wednesday at it was clear that he over promised and under delivered.
No war plans were discussed in the text chain.
Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the Inspector General report is a total exoneration of Hegseth.
This Inspector General review is a TOTAL exoneration of Secretary Hegseth and proves what we knew all along – no classified information was shared.
This matter is resolved and the case is closed.
