Republican Congressman Calls for Hegseth’s Firing Amidst Signalgate 2.0 Scandal
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces calls for his resignation after allegedly sharing sensitive military information via unsecure Signal group chats, including one with his family and attorney. Rep. Don Bacon, a Republican, became the first House member to publicly call for Hegseth’s removal, citing concerns about operational security failures and a lack of experience. President Trump, however, continues to support Hegseth, dismissing the reports as “fake news.” This incident follows a previous report of administration officials using unclassified messaging platforms for sensitive communications.
