Dear Members of Congress, The recent revelation that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth allegedly leaked classified military plans—by accident—to a journalist is an unacceptable national security failure. The fact that 18 high-ranking officials, including the Vice President, the Director of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence, failed to notice an unauthorized participant in a secure group chat is beyond incompetence—it is outright negligence. This reckless breach endangered military personnel, compromised strategic operations, and undermined global confidence in U.S. leadership. Congress must take immediate action to: 1. Conduct a full investigation into how classified war plans were so carelessly mishandled. 2. Determine the extent of the damage this leak may have caused to U.S. military operations and intelligence assets. 3. Hold accountable all individuals responsible, including Secretary Hegseth and any officials who failed to identify the security lapse. 4. Implement strict safeguards to prevent such breaches from occurring in the future. Additionally, reports that Vice President JD Vance privately opposed the Yemen strikes—while remaining silent in public—raise serious concerns about decision-making within this administration. If top officials question the president’s military actions behind closed doors but fail to speak up publicly, the American people deserve to know why. This is not a partisan issue. It is a matter of national security, military safety, and government accountability. Immediate oversight is not just warranted—it is imperative. We urge you to act now. Sincerely,
