Donald Trump Jr has reacted to reports of a leaked second Signal chatroom used to discuss sensitive military operations.
John Ullyot, a former Pentagon Spokesperson, who resigned last week, had in an opinion essay published by Politico on Sunday said that the Pentagon has been overwhelmed by staff drama.
He called the situation a “full-blown meltdown”; that could cost 44-year-old US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth his job.
“It’s been a month of total chaos at the Pentagon. From leaks of sensitive operational plans to mass firings, the dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president – who deserves better from his senior leadership,”; Ullyot wrote.
In his reaction, Trump said the author is “officially exiled”; from his political movement.
“This guy is not America First,”; Trump Jr wrote on X. “I’ve been hearing for years that he works his ass off to subvert my father’s agenda. That ends today.”
The warning came as the New York Times reported that Hegseth shared details of a US attack on Yemeni Houthi rebels last month in a second Signal chat that he created himself and included his wife, his brother and about a dozen other people.
According to the Times' report, information sent out include the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets that would strike Houthi rebel targets in Yemen.
He also shared this with another signal group of top officials that was created by Mike Waltz, the national security adviser, according to the report.
