Congressman: It’s ‘Fair To Wonder’ If Pete Hegseth Was Drinking Amid Signal Use

“People have legitimate concerns about whether his judgment is compromised,” Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) said of the defense secretary.
WASHINGTON ― Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) said Monday that it’s “fair to wonder” if Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been drinking alcohol again given his “reckless” use of Signal, a third-party messaging app, to share highly sensitive military plans with national security officials and separately with members of his family.
“When Secretary Hegseth keeps making reckless mistakes with our national security – like leaking war plans in Signal chats or the chaos we’re seeing at the Pentagon – it’s fair to wonder if he actually stopped drinking like he promised during his confirmation,” Gomez told HuffPost in a statement. “People have legitimate concerns about whether his judgment is compromised.”
A Defense Department spokesperson declined comment.
“We don’t comment on remarks from elected officials,” said the spokesperson.
Before being confirmed, Hegseth faced numerous allegations of excessive drinking, sometimes at work. He vowed as a nominee that he wouldn’t drink if he was confirmed.
