https://www.newsweek.com/pete-hegseth-denies-texting-war-plans-journalist-2049883Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denied the texts to reporters: "You're talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who's made a profession of peddling hoaxes time and time again...This is a guy who peddles in garbage...Nobody was texting war plans and that's all I have to say."
Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic responded to Hegseth during a MSNBC interview: "The Secretary of Defense seems like a person who is unserious and is trying to deflect from the fact that he participated in a conversation on an unclassified messaging app that he probably shouldn't have participated in."

At any rate, Trump doesn't care. He's dismantling most of our national security anyway. Why would he care about this?
