Republican and Democratic leaders on the Senate Armed Services Committee are requesting a formal investigation into the Signal chat scandal.
Former U.S. defense officials said the unsecured messaging chain could have jeopardized the operation and put American lives at risk.
Hegseth reportedly assured chat participants that “we are currently clean on OPSEC” despite the accidental inclusion of a journalist.
A Space Force spokesperson said the demonstration occurred in 2024 and involved five Chinese satellites.
