Demand investigation into Signal security leak by Trump officials

To: Sen. Cornyn, Rep. Casar, Sen. Cruz

From: A constituent in Austin, TX

March 28

The recently reported Signal leak of sensitive national security discussions involving top Trump administration officials is a deeply concerning breach that demands a full and transparent investigation. Details revealed indicate that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth provided advance notice and specifics about planned military strikes in Yemen to a group that mistakenly included a journalist. This leak of operational plans could have jeopardized the safety of U.S. forces and undermined the strategic objectives. While the White House has downplayed the incident, the implications are grave, regardless of whether classified information was technically disclosed. Leak of any operational details about military actions risks compromising those missions and endangering personnel. Such a significant security lapse requiring accountability and a comprehensive review to identify systematic failures and fortify protocols to prevent similar breaches moving forward. How can the American public trust the judgment and care being exercised in the highest levels of government and military leadership if officials casually share war plans over unsecured channels? This apparent double standard being applied, compared to how similar infractions are met with severe consequences for rank-and-file service members, is alarming and corrosive to ethical standards. Failure to address this incident with the utmost seriousness would set a dangerous precedent undermining national security interests. I urge you to call for a full, independent investigation into what appears to be a reckless and potentially illegal mishandling of sensitive operational intelligence by this administration's senior leadership. The American people deserve transparency and assurance that those entrusted with such immense power and responsibility are being held to the highest standards of competence and accountability.
