“I would expect our top military advisor in this country to have the utmost care and caution and reverence for our service members safety. But as we all know, that is not the type of Secretary of Defense that we have. In April, the Associated Press reported that Secretary Hexseth used SIGNAL to discuss classified military operations and had an Internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon security protocols set up in his office to use SIGNAL on his personal computer. That shows a blatant disregard for our security protocols that shouldn't be repeated. I know every person on this committee cares deeply about the safety of our service members.” (01:28–01:45)
