According to the Wall Street Journal, US defense secretary Pete Hegseth officially invited his family, Jennifer, to two sessions with foreign military counterparts where” sensitive” data was discussed. He is currently under investigation for the new Signal talk leak.
Hegseth apparently attended the high-level appointment with his family on March 6. According to the statement, Hegseth apparently attended the meeting. According to the report from Newsweek citing the Wall Street Journal, the meeting took place with UK secretary of defense John Healey, who was speaking about the US’s decision to not share military knowledge with Ukraine during their Russian issue.
Owing to” the delicate nature of the discussions,” according to defense officials, director meeting attendees usually have security certifications.
Additionally, officials from NATO held a second conference in Brussels, Belgium in February to discuss Ukraine assistance.
The Trump administration’s use of Signal, an encrypted software, supposedly for discussing martial strategies while including a media representative, is the subject of this statement.
Washington has been tumultified by recent revelations about Signal contacts involving Vice President JD Vance, Hegseth, federal safety director Mike Waltz, and Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.
In a conversation hectored over the British military’s plans for airstrikes against Houthi rebels, who are supported by Iran and have been attacking commercial boats in the Red Sea despite dispute over shipping routes, Goldberg discussed the Signal text chat.
Significant issues with national security have been brought up by the conduct of secret military conversations between top Trump administration officials.
Hegseth has constantly refuted Goldberg’s claim, saying that “nobody was texting war ideas, and that’s all I have to say about that.” On Tuesday, Waltz also criticized Goldberg, calling him the “bottom slime of journalists.”
According to citing options,” Some foreign guests at the meetings didn’t recognize who Jennifer Hegseth was.”
Hegseth is facing withdrawal demands following the Signal talk publication. Despite their opposition, Trump administration associates continue to support him. Trump made this month public that he would be examining the condition and that he would assign Walz the task of investigating the situation.
