White House Says Donald Trump “Stands Strongly” Behind Pete Hegseth Amid New Signal Chat Report, Pentagon Tumult — Update

New information was reported of Hegseth's sharing of attack plans on Signal.

On Sunday, The New York Times and other outlets reported that Hegseth, the former co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend, shared details of U.S. attack plans on Houthi rebels in Yemen on another Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer. “There are very likely more shoes to drop in short order, with even bigger bombshell stories coming this week, key Pentagon reporters have been telling sources privately,” wrote Ullyot, while all but predicting that Hegseth’s days are numbered. But the next day, they released a statement saying that “unnamed Pentagon officials have slandered our character with baseless attacks on our way out the door.” Ullyot wrote that “Hegseth’s team has developed a habit of spreading flat-out, easily debunked falsehoods anonymously about their colleagues on their way out the door.”
