U.S. Rep. Kelly Morrison Calls for Resignation of Hegseth and Waltz Amid High-Risk National Security Failure
Rep. Morrison calling for Republican majority in Congress to immediately hold oversight investigations to protect the safety and lives of our troops and our national security
Today, U.S. Representative Kelly Morrison (MN-03) released the following statement after the Trump-Vance Administration’s top national security officials texted highly sensitive information on detailed operational plans and military strikes outside of approved classified government systems:
“If one of our service members used an unclassified network to discuss highly sensitive operational information detailing American battle plans involving American troops — and beyond that, inadvertently shared it with someone outside of the United States government who did not have a security clearance — they would be fired and face serious consequences.
“Our national security leaders must be held to at least the same standard, if not higher.
“This level of negligence in handling American military intelligence is completely unacceptable. Defense Secretary Hegseth and National Security Advisor Waltz must immediately resign — or be fired.
“The Republican majority in Congress must also immediately launch oversight investigations into how this happened and how we can ensure this never happens again. If they do not, that is a dereliction of duty and a failure to protect the safety and lives of our troops, our military intelligence, and our national security at home and abroad.”
