Hegseth Signal messages came from email classified ‘SECRET,’ watchdog told

UNITED STATES, JUL 23 – Pentagon Inspector General confirmed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared classified U.S. military strike plans on Signal, contradicting prior administration denials during ongoing investigation.

  • On July 23, 2025, the Pentagon’s inspector general found that Signal messages from Hegseth included classified information, sources tell me and @ZcohenCNN.
  • Earlier this year, investigators found parts of a classified US Central Command document in Hegseth’s Signal chat, detailing Yemen airstrikes, from March 15, sources say.
  • The probe was opened in April after concerns over Hegseth’s use of Signal, at the request of Republican and Democratic Senate Armed Services Committee members, and remains ongoing.
  • In response, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell reiterated the stance, while Michael Waltz said `There was no classified information exchanged.`
  • Pressure has grown, as numerous Democrats and Republicans demand Hegseth’s firing following June hearings where he refused to confirm classification status.
