I am writing to express my deep concern regarding reports that Pete Hegseth has shared classified information with a newspaper reporter. Such actions demonstrate a clear lack of professionalism and judgment, raising serious questions about his qualifications for his position and his regard for national security. No individual has the right to disclose United States secrets through text messages or any other unauthorized means. If these allegations are accurate, Mr. Hegseth must be held accountable under the law. I urge you to advocate for a full investigation into his actions and, if warranted, to take immediate steps to remove him from his position. The security of our nation depends on holding individuals in positions of trust to the highest standards. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your response on how you plan to address this serious issue.
