Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Faces Mounting Scandal Over Mishandling Sensitive Information

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is under intense scrutiny following revelations that he shared sensitive information via the Signal app with individuals lacking proper clearance. This marks his second Signal-related scandal, raising concerns about his judgment and suitability for the role. The controversy has led to internal chaos, leaks, and criticism from both within the administration and the media. Hegseth has attempted to deflect blame onto anonymous leakers, while some allies suggest his missteps are part of a 'learning curve.' The situation has also been complicated by reports of unprofessional behavior among his top aides, further undermining confidence in his leadership.

A new Signal scandal. Personnel nightmares. A torrent of leaks and condemnations. It’s almost as if he was a terrible choice for this gig.

Trump hits ‘nasty’ Michelle Obama at Atlanta rally

Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her “nasty” after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.“You know who’s nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump told supporters in Atlanta.“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of — a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldn’t be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning “Donald Trump’s gross incompetence.”“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.
