Pentagon Watchdog Probes ‘SignalGate’ Involving Fox News Host Hegseth

The Pentagon's Inspector General has launched an investigation into what has been dubbed 'SignalGate,' involving Fox News host Pete Hegseth. The probe was initiated after reports surfaced that Hegseth used the encrypted messaging app Signal to discuss sensitive information with former President Donald Trump and other high-profile figures.

According to sources, the communications included discussions about potential military strategies and national security issues. The use of Signal, known for its end-to-end encryption, has raised concerns about the security and legality of such conversations, prompting the Pentagon to take action.

The investigation aims to determine whether any classified information was improperly shared and if there were any violations of security protocols. The involvement of a prominent media figure like Hegseth has added a layer of complexity to the case, drawing significant attention from both the public and political spheres.

Hegseth, a former Army officer and a vocal supporter of Trump, has yet to comment on the investigation. The outcome of the probe could have implications for the use of encrypted apps in government and military communications, potentially leading to new regulations or policies.
