Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) became the first sitting GOP member to suggest President Donald Trump fire Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth following a second round of allegations regarding mishandling sensitive information.
Hegseth reportedly shared sensitive information about military operations in Yemen in a private chat on the Signal app with his wife, brother, and personal lawyer, according to the New York Times. The report marked the second time Hegseth participated in group chats containing sensitive information on an unclassified messaging platform.
During an interview on Monday with Politico, Bacon said the group chats containing information about the missions against the Houthis were “totally unacceptable.”
