Washington Week with The Atlantic

Hegseth on defense after Signalgate inspector general report

Season 2025 Episode 49 | 11m 00s

The acting inspector general of the Department of Defense released his report on Signalgate and found that Defense Secretary Hegseth’s behavior endangered the safety of American pilots, and that he should not have been using a commercial messaging app, or his own phone, to share secret information about upcoming airstrikes. The panel discusses the findings and the response.
