Rep.

There is no world in which this information should have been shared in non-secure channels,” Moulton, a Marine veteran who served in Iraq, wrote on the social platform X. “Hegseth is in so far over his head that he is a danger to this country and our men and women in uniform,” he said. Addressing the Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee, Moulton said Hegseth “needs to explain himself to Congress and be held accountable.” Goldberg reported earlier Monday that national security adviser Mike Waltz had apparently accidentally included him in a small Signal chat with top-level Trump administration officials, including Vice President Vance, Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe. Hegseth’s posts included “operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing,” according to Goldberg. National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes confirmed to Goldberg that the Signal group appeared to be authentic and officials were investigating how he had been included in it.
