LEAK: Pentagon Inspector General Has ‘Evidence’ Hegseth Signal Chat Included Classified Information From Central Command
Gateway Pundit ^ | July 23, 2025 | Cristina Laila

Another day, another leak.

CNN and The Washington Post on Wednesday reported that sources say the Pentagon Inspector General has ‘evidence’ that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Signal chat included classified information from Central Command.

The Pentagon Inspector General expanded his investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of the double-encrypted app Signal in May.

Steven Stebbins took over as Acting Inspector General after President Trump fired the previous IG and 17 other inspectors general.

Stebbins was first appointed to his position in 2015.

Pete Hegseth has been under heavy attack since before his confirmation hearing and the leaks keep coming.

The Pentagon Inspector General expanded his probe following The Wall Street Journal’s reporting on Hegseth’s wife and brother participating in Signal chat groups.

Pete Hegseth was blamed for not noticing Jeffrey Goldberg was added to the Signal chat group with other high-level Trump Administration officials.

.....Snip....

CNN reported:

The Pentagon’s inspector general has received evidence that the military plans shared from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s Signal account to a group chat earlier this year were taken from a US Central Command document that was marked classified at the time, according to two people familiar with the ongoing review.

The Pentagon watchdog, which launched a review in April of Hegseth’s use of the commercial messaging app to share information related to US military operations in Yemen, obtained the document in the early days of its investigation, the sources said. The document was marked Secret/NOFORN, meaning no foreign nationals should see it.

the clintons GAVE access to our nuke labs to the chinese.

of course, these days the pentagon just stores their classified stuff in the cloud... which is hosted in china.

and let’s not forget the chinese are all throughout microsoft and control the software installed with windows.

so... after all that... you want to get snarky about a few text messages???

Every week it is somebody new .....Tulsi must go....Bondi must go.... Hegseth must go. Between that and the continuous court cases the Trump Admin. is working overtime.

Dems only strategy is 4 years of chaos.

What is all this phone app chat crap ?

I wonder how Admiral Nimitz managed without a cell phone.

Don’t these clowns know how to send a message via the military ?

Who is the Pentagon "Inspector General" ?

Doesn't he need to be investigated himself? Is a colonoscopy warranted? I would say so.

Pick up the phone Trump. Counsel Hegseth; tell him not to do it again. Then call the IG and tell him Hegseth has been disciplined and to close the case.

Then move on.

SignalGate.
EpsteinGate.
BorderPatrolGate.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

It is all they have, and many on this forum go right along with it.

Trump can just PRE-EMPTIVELY PARDON Hegseth if he wants to keep him at his post (assuming he’s even charged).

...and Trump is tired of others trying to ‘shape’ his administration.

Time for a lot of the top civilians and generals to rotate ...time for them to get back into the field.
