Shaheen Statement on Inspector General Report Findings on Secretary Hegseth

"From day one, we've known that Pete Hegseth was never qualified to lead the U.S. Department of Defense, and the chaos that he's created at the Pentagon has proven this correct time and again - that's why I voted against his nomination. The Inspector General's findings confirmed what our military leadership has already said: By sharing air strike plans that had been labeled classified on Signal, the Secretary endangered the lives of American service members and put our military readiness at risk through his recklessness.
