In his interview with Fox & Friends, Hegseth did not deny the existence of the second Signal chat, but kept up his insistence that the information shared didn’t amount to “war plans.”
“I look at war plans every single day. What was shared over Signal then and now, however you characterize it, was informal, unclassified coordinations for media coordination and other things,” he said. “That’s what I’ve said from the beginning.”
The Defense Secretary denounced the reporting as politically-motivated, saying it first began with “left-wing reporters at The Atlantic.”
“This is what it’s all about: trying to get at President Trump and his agenda,” he said.
