#Trump defended #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth, a day after a report again scrutinized Hegseth’s use of #Signal to discuss sensitive #military attack plans. “He is doing a great job,” Trump told reporters at the annual Easter Egg Roll, shortly after propagandist, Karoline Leavitt, said that Trump “stands strongly behind” Hegseth. #CorporateSponsors were solicited for this year’s Easter Egg Roll w/promises of #branding opportunities—an arrangement questioned by #ethics watchdogs.

Trump's press secretary said: "Hegseth is doing phenomenal leading the Pentagon. This is what happens when the entire Pentagon is working against you and working against the monumental change you are trying to implement.”

It would be safer and easier to fire #VodkaPete Hegseth than it would be to fire the entire Pentagon.

#WhiteHouse looking for new secretary of #defense #DOD #sedev per NPR. This comes as Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth continues to find himself mired in controversy. #NPR has also confirmed with the same official that #Hegseth shared details ahead of last month's #Yemen strikes with his wife and brother in a #Signal #chat on his personal phone, minutes after being updated by a senior U.S. #military official. The news of the second Signal group chat about the mission was reported by #NewYorkTimes

[And on Sunday it was revealed that the #Signal chat “Houthi PC small group chat” was not the only Signal group chat that divulged #military operational details prior to the attacks. #Hegseth set up another group chat that included his wife & brother called the “Defense | Team Huddle” chat where he shared the same info as in the “Houthi PC small group chat”.]

Continued thread

The #GoogleDrive incident is the latest digital #security lapse for the #Trump admin. Last month, top officials inadvertently included the editor in chief of the Atlantic magazine in an unclassified chat used to discuss highly sensitive #military planning, & Trump’s #NationalSecurity adviser & his staff used personal #Gmail accounts for government communications, which experts described as insufficiently secure, The Post reported.
