It appears that the information that Hegseth shared in this second Signal group is very similar to information that he shared in that first Signal group that we learned about about a month ago.
The big difference here is who was included in each of these two groups. This new group that Hegseth formed that we are learning about this evening included individuals including his wife, his brother, and his personal attorney, people for whom it's not clear why they would need this information about these pending attack plans in Yemen.
All raising questions sort of about the competence of Pete Hegseth as he commands the Pentagon and the Department of Defense, this massive workforce and massive responsibility at a moment of global tensions. And it sort of punctuates a period of chaos at the Pentagon that is causing concerns even among some of Hegseth's allies.
Nothing about this is normal. You don't see an immediate purge of your senior leadership that you have not only elected to be around you, but appointed yourself as a secretary of defense. What's ironic here is that the secretary of defense, the person who leads our men and women in uniform and our civilians, also put unauthorized classified information in.
into a commercial texting app, and yet there have been no consequences for him. He has not been held responsible. So, you know, of course, different circumstances for different people, but nothing about this is normal.
