The Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, “is doing an excellent job, it has nothing to do with it”, Said the US President in the White House when confronted with new revelations of The Atlantic.
US President Donald Trump defended his secretary of the defense of dismissal requests for breach of confidentiality of military operations, qualifying “witch hunt” the case released by The Atlantic magazine.
The Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, “is doing an excellent job, it has nothing to do with it”, Said the US President in the White House, when confronted with new revelations of The Atlantic, whose director was misleading in a Signal Message Application group with some of the leading leadership and where details about bombing were shared in Yemen.
To journalists, Donald Trump also said that Mike Waltz, White House National Security Counselor, has already taken responsibility for security failure and that no one else was to blame.
“Mike Waltz has already taken responsibility. He didn’t have to do with anyone else. It was Mike,” he said.
With the White House insisting that nothing in the change of messages in Signal was confidential, The Atlantic reproducing Hegseth’s messaging screen captures with the hard -planned attacks on the Huthis, Iemenite Rebel group ally of Iran, and the weapons used, all sent two hours before the attacks take place.
In the new article, the magazine says that after these statements, he contacted the government officials, stating that the messages were not ultra -secret, to ask them if they agreed with the publication of more messages, more accurate than those referred to in the first article.
The White House opposed itself, indicated The Atlantic, which, however, published the essentials of the messages, hiding only the name of an agent of the CIA.
