Alabama Congresswoman Terri Sewell released the following statement regarding Secretary of Defenese Pete Hegseth’s use of a public app to discuss a military strike with other officials in the Trump administration:
“As a former member of the House Intelligence Committee, I was horrified to hear that officials at the highest levels of the Trump Administration were illegally texting highly classified information including war plans via Signal, a commercial phone application, putting our service members in harm’s way. Americans put their trust in our leaders to exercise the utmost care when dealing with matters of national security. I seriously question the judgment and capacity of these Trump officials to inform and implement our national security policy.”
