The big headline? Hegseth didn’t shut down the idea that the Pentagon has actual plans to take over Greenland or Panama. When asked directly, he gave the standard line about planning for all contingencies. That vague answer had both Democrats and Republicans concerned and confused.
Then came the heat over Hegseth’s alleged use of the Signal app to share details about a U.S. airstrike in Yemen. Lawmakers wanted to know if he leaked classified information and if he’d be held accountable. Hegseth stuck to his guns, claiming the mission was successful and dodging questions about potential risks to troops.
Pete Hegseth is dodging and deflecting hard as questions pile up about invasion plans, military leaks, and controversial personnel policies. With investigations underway and both parties getting frustrated, this showdown is far from over.
