"It's utterly disingenuous when Hegseth says that the new Pentagon crackdown is about protecting classified information. It's about protecting Hegseth. Remember that it was Hegseth himself who sent advance information about a Yemen bombing to his wife brother and personal lawyer in a Signal chat. That's just the kind of scandal involving mishandling of classified information that reporters should be uncovering and reporting on. But the new Pentagon policy would bar them from inquiring about it. So we have someone with a record of mishandling secret information taking steps to protect himself"
