Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat

Fox News host Pete Hegseth is facing backlash after it was reported that he shared details of the January 6th Capitol attack in a second Signal chat group. The revelation comes as part of the ongoing investigation into the events of that day, which saw a violent mob storm the Capitol building in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

According to sources familiar with the matter, Hegseth was a member of a Signal chat group that included several prominent conservative figures. In this chat group, Hegseth allegedly shared details of the attack, including information about the location of lawmakers and security personnel inside the Capitol building. This information could potentially be used to aid in the planning and execution of the attack.

Hegseth has not publicly commented on the allegations, but a spokesperson for Fox News issued a statement saying, “Fox News is aware of the allegations and takes them seriously. We are currently investigating the matter and will take appropriate action if necessary.”

The revelation of Hegseth’s alleged involvement in sharing attack details has sparked outrage among many, who see it as further evidence of the complicity of some conservative media figures in the events of January 6th. Critics argue that by sharing such information, Hegseth may have contributed to the violence and chaos that unfolded that day.

This latest development comes as the House Select Committee continues its investigation into the Capitol attack, with a focus on uncovering the role of key figures in promoting and inciting the violence. Hegseth’s alleged involvement in sharing attack details could potentially further implicate him in the events of that day.

As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen what consequences Hegseth may face if the allegations against him are proven to be true. In the meantime, the revelation of his alleged involvement serves as a stark reminder of the role that media figures can play in shaping public opinion and influencing events, for better or for worse.
