Hegseth maintains White House backing amid 'smear campaign' alleging likely ouster
Fox News
Hegseth is under fire again after a report claimed that he disclosed details about a March military airstrike against the Houthis in a Signal messaging app group chat with his wife and brother.
The incident follows a similar episode in March, where the Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was included on a Signal group chat with other high-ranking Trump administration officials, including Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance, discussing the same attack on the Houthis. National security advisor Mike Waltz later took "full responsibility" for that chat blunder. Diana Stancy is a politics reporter with Fox News Digital covering the White House.
But the White House says it supports Hegseth, and argued he’s faced a "smear campaign" since Trump tapped him for the post in December 2024.
