US House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called for the immediate dismissal of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Tuesday, accusing him of leaking sensitive military information in an unclassified setting.
In a letter addressed to President Donald Trump, Jeffries said Hegseth's actions endangered national security and violated federal law because he disclosed the timing of a military operation, strike targets, and weapons details in a national security group chat that included a reporter.
The letter comes a day after it was learned that Trump officials texted attack plans to a group chat in a secure app that included a journalist from The Atlantic.
