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

Since he’s worried about security leaks, how’d he feel about Biden keeping mountains of classified docs in his garage?
The A holes in the last administration used Signal. How hard would it have been to use approved channels for communication? We can only hope EVERYONE has stopped. Thet is all....
They sure are afraid of Pete.
‘ They sure are afraid of Pete.’
Who is they and how are you reading fear?
MIC.
Hegseth got his Mulligan he’s doing a great job otherwise but man Pete better get his act together with these signal chats
Ignore "fake news".
“President Trump’s (now fired) National Security Advisor Mike Waltz added The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal chat group where Pete Hegseth discussed successful strikes on Houthi terrorists in Yemen.”
Set up by Mike Waltz. He just agreed to take one for the team.
Do you know of what you are speaking?
Screw the chats. These people are like little high school children with constant texting. Get back to basics and call a meeting (in person).
Hmmm...
Apparently Pete doesn’t understand the old adage: “Once burnt...Twice cured”...
“This Pentagon inspector general, Steven Stebbins, has the deep state smell all over him. He was appointed in 2015 under Obama.”
This fool should have been shit canned 99 days ago.
Signal was approved by the DoD in 2023.
Was Mike Walz the mole on assignment 😕

A lot of the commenters in the article comments section are saying the same thing. If Trump fires him now they’ll file another article of impeachment.
Mike Waltz didn't set up the chat discussed in this article that included Pete's wife, lawyer and brother. Waltz's mistake was amateurish, and so was Pete's. I love Pete's attitude towards DEI, and his focus on war fighting, but he needs to be more professional. I don't want him fired, and this is the kind of stuff that gets you fired.
None of this Signal ‘scandal’ is about actual national security concerns - it’s about trying to find fault with all things Trump.
Completely ignore-worthy.
With Pete Hegseth in there, I feel more secure than I have since Eisenhower.
Um-hmmm...
That’s immaterial to a Democrat since Bidet is a Democrat.
