The Pentagon’s acting inspector general is investigating whether Pete Hegseth broke any rules around classification and records retention. Trump's reaction? 'That's such a wasted story.'

The Pentagon's Inspector General's office announced on Thursday it was opening a probe into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's use of an unclassified commercial texting application to coordinate on the highly sensitive March 15 launch of U.

The probe will examine whether the defence secretary complied with policy when he used the commercial messaging app.
