I am writing to express my deep concern and outrage over the recent reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other senior Trump administration officials shared classified military plans—including sensitive details about a potential strike against Houthi rebels—through an unsecured Signal group chat that included a journalist. This is not merely a lapse in judgment; it is a severe violation of national security protocols that could have endangered American lives and military personnel. According to The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, the publication’s editor-in-chief, was inadvertently included in the group where Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President Vance discussed highly sensitive operational details. This breach is unacceptable and demands immediate accountability. I urge you to take the following actions: 1. Initiate impeachment proceedings against Pete Hegseth for gross negligence and dereliction of duty. 2. Launch a full congressional investigation into whether this incident constitutes treason or espionage, given the potential compromise of military operations. 3. Refer this matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation of all officials involved. If a lower-ranking official had committed such a breach, they would likely face arrest and prosecution. The fact that senior leaders entrusted with our nation’s most critical secrets acted with such recklessness demonstrates a fundamental lack of fitness for office. This is not a partisan issue—it is a matter of national security and the rule of law. I urge you to act swiftly to hold these officials accountable before further harm is done.
