As the New York Times wrote on Sunday, the head of the Pentagon posted plans for huti fighters in Yemen in two group chats on the Signal messenger. The group's participants included His wife, brother and personal lawyer.
The information provided by the head of the Pentagon was – according to media messages – similar to those transmitted in another revealed chat, with the random participation of the editor -in -chief of The Atlantic. HegeSeth posted there a schedule of the first wave of strokes in Yemen two hours before making these attacks.
CNN: HegeSeth non -emergency
CNN, however, assesses on Tuesday that HegeSetha's position is not threatened, because dismissing him from the position would mean confessing to the error by Donald Trump. The website emphasized that Trump has invested in HegeStha large political capital because the former TV presenter “reflects the rebellious political identity and instincts of the president.
A spokeswoman for the White House Karoline Leavitt denied reports of an attempt to remove HegeSth from his position. She assured that the minister had strong support from President Donald Trump. The president himself also supported HegeSetha in an interview with journalists and said that the fears of the so -called Signalgate is a “waste of time”.
On Sunday evening there was already a Pentagon clerk and a longtime collaborator of Hegeth, John Ullyot – who left the ministry after less than three months – posted on Politico the text calling on President Trump to release HegeSeth. Ullyot expressed the view that under the former presenter of Fox News Pentagon is “in total chaos”, and noticed the numerous mistakes of his former boss, including Signalgate.
Last week, many close collaborators of HegeSth were dismissed from the Pentagon, officially due to the investigation of leakage of information to the media.
