Pete Hegseth, White House SLAM legacy media for ‘peddling lies’ after reports on second Signal chat



Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth hit back at reporting released on Sunday that claimed he discussed detailed information about forthcoming strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in a second Signal chat. The report from the New York Times cited four anonymous people with knowledge of the chat.

"What a big surprise that a bunch of, a few leakers get fired and suddenly a bunch of hit pieces come out from the same media that peddled the Russia hoax," Hegseth told reporters when asked to respond to the "Signal chat controversy" while attending the White House Easter Egg Roll. "They got Pulitzers for a bunch of lies."
