Warren Calls for Hegseth's Resignation Following Pentagon IG Signal Report Findings

"How many more times does Secretary Hegseth have to put our military in danger before Republicans say enough is enough?"

Washington, D.C. - Today, in response to the news that a Pentagon watchdog concluded that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth risked exposing sensitive information that could have endangered U.S. troops when he relayed information about a planned military strike in Yemen using Signal, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the following statement:

"The watchdog investigation makes clear that Secretary Pete Hegseth put American service members in danger by sharing classified war plans in an unsecure group chat. Secretary Hegseth was reckless with our nation's security, jeopardizing American lives and demonstrating he's unfit to serve as Secretary of Defense. To be blunt, Hegseth is a walking national security threat.

"How many more times does Secretary Hegseth have to put our military in danger before Republicans say enough is enough? Secretary Hegseth should resign or be fired immediately."
