Trump Says Pete Hegseth Had 'Nothing To Do' With War Plans That Hegseth Texted To Journalist
"President Donald Trump on Wednesday downplayed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s role in sharing highly sensitive matters of national security to a group chat that included The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg.
“Hegseth is doing a great job, he had nothing to do with this,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, despite screenshots showing the defense secretary sharing plans for U.S. strikes in Yemen with the Signal chat earlier this month.
Trump continued, “Hegseth? How do you bring Hegseth into it? He had nothing to do with it. Look, look — it’s all a witch hunt.”
Trump’s comments arrived just moments after he said his national security adviser Mike Waltz, who Goldberg said invited him to the group, “claimed responsibility” for his role in the breached chat."
