  1. The warnings — detailed for #Hegseth by the heads of the #Army, #Navy & #AirForce & the four-star commanders overseeing #US operations throughout #Europe, #Asia & #LatinAmerica — appear in the Aug 14 edition of the Secretary of Defense Orders Book ( #SDOB ), these people said. They described the assessment to WaPo on the condition of anonymity because the document is #classified.

  2. Hegseth’s written answers to the #Pentagon #InspectorGeneral made 3 points, the report said.

    1) #Hegseth acknowledged that he had received information about upcoming war plans on March 14 from #US #CENTCOM.

    2) he asserted that as #defense secy “he has authority to decide whether information should be #classified & whether classified materials no longer require protection.”

  3. The report went on to say that the next day #Hegseth sent some of that #classified operational information from his PERSONAL CELLPHONE to the #Signal chat group.

    The #InspectorGeneral’s evaluation of #Defense Secy Pete Hegseth’s actions on March 15 were complicated by at least 2 factors. First, the #DoD provided only a partial copy of messages from Hegseth’s cellphone to #Signal because some of messages had “auto-deleted.”
