Congressman Crow Calls for Secretary Hegseth to Resign

WASHINGTON — Congressman Jason Crow (CO-06), member of the House Armed Services Committee and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, released the following statement calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to resign following reports that he shared classified war plans in an unsecured Signal channel, including specific dates, times, and weapons in advance of military strikes:

In a statement, Congressman Crow said:

“I’ve long said that Pete Hegseth is not qualified to be Defense Secretary. After just weeks in office, he’s shown the American people that he’s not up to the job. Secretary Hegseth sent top secret and classified war plans via an unsecured text chain. This carelessness with classified information endangered the lives of American pilots and servicemembers serving overseas. The Defense Secretary’s actions were reckless and he should resign.”
