Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing backlash online after dodging questions about the leaked Signal chat controversy during a tense Easter event interview, prompting comparisons to a "busted teenager" and sparking further speculation.
While attending the White House Easter Egg Roll Monday morning, Hegseth was approached by reporters about a report by the New York Times regarding a second alleged Signal leak. Hegseth proceeded to launch a tirade against the media, accusing them of recycling narratives and relying on anonymous sources.
