In light of the calls for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s resignation following a leaked Signal chat that revealed details about a military operation in Yemen, President Donald Trump expressed his support for Hegseth on Wednesday.
After Hegseth inadvertently included Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, in a Signal chat where he shared information about the strike with administration officials, Goldberg published the complete messages on Wednesday morning, prompting the president to address the ensuing controversy.
Following the uproar, as several Congressional Democrats urged Hegseth to step down, reporters inquired whether Trump believed Hegseth should consider resigning.
He has no involvement in this; Hegseth is performing exceptionally well. Hegseth. How is Hegseth implicated in this? Trump responded.
