Using Pentagon monitoring the use of the Pentagon signal Higseth

The U.S. Inspector General of the US Department of Defense launched an investigation into the use of Higseth Beit to implement the signal of the mission of other official officials on military strikes on the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The White House faced a violent reaction after an unintentionally adding a journalist to a group chat – where specific details about the strikes were discussed – on the commercial application.

The investigation comes at the request of the Armed Services Committee in the Senate -led Senate.

The aim of the investigation is to determine whether the Minister of Defense and other employees are complied with the administration’s policies on the use of correspondence requests to discuss official works.

In a letter to Higseth, the Inspector General of Stephen Steps said in a letter to Higseth that the International Energy Agency will also “review compliance with classification requirements and retaining records.”

The White House faced a set of questions after adding Jeffrey Goldberg, editor -in -chief of Atlantic, to a signal chat in early March, where Higseth discussed the exact timing of the planned strikes, as well as weapons packages and other details.

Democrats called the officials – including the National Security Adviser and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, who created the collective chat – to resign from the accident.

The Trump administration reserves that the information involved in the chat was not classified.

The letter of the Inspector General of Higseth requested two points of contact to investigate within five days, including a government employee familiar with the accident in addition to a “member of the higher executive service or a general employee/science.”

The review will be held in Washington, DC, and at the headquarters of the US Central Command in Tampa, Florida, according to the message.

Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Public Prosecutor Bam Bondi said she was familiar with the investigation of the Inspector General.

“These cases must be referred to,” she said. “They were not referred to me.”

On March 26, the Chairman of the Armed Services Committee in the Republican Senate, Roger Wake, and a member of the Democratic Classification Jack Reed, asked the Pentagon to search for the messages that were delivered in the sign chat, and the Ministry of Defense policy on sharing sensitive information about non -governmental networks and recommendations regarding the procedures that the government must take.

Senate members said that the signal scandal “raises questions about the use of unparalleled networks to discuss sensitive and classified information.”
