I am deeply concerned by reports that Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller shared classified war plans using the unsecured Signal app just two hours before a live military operation. This alarming breach of protocol could have endangered American lives and undermines our national security standards. Given your esteemed service as a retired Lieutenant General in the U.S. Marine Corps and your role as Chairman of the Intelligence and Special Operations Subcommittee within the House Armed Services Committee, I urge you to leverage your leadership to address this issue. Please advocate for a thorough investigation, hold the responsible officials accountable, and reinforce the enforcement of secure communication protocols to safeguard our service members and national interests. Thank you for your dedication to our nation’s security.
