Breitbart: Sean Parnell on Establishment Media Relaunching Signal-Gate: 'Old Story'
Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell defended Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth against renewed media scrutiny over alleged discussions of military plans in a Signal chat. Parnell criticized the New York Times for relying on disgruntled former employees and reiterated that no classified information was shared.
Hegseth reportedly used a private Signal chat to communicate with family and aides about military operations against the Houthis in Yemen. Critics, including some Democrats, have called for Hegseth's resignation or dismissal, while supporters argue that the media's portrayal is exaggerated and lacks substantive evidence.
The Mirror: 'Reform UK may have just enough support to win hundreds of seats from Tories'
The upcoming local elections in the UK on May 1 are marked by unprecedented unpopularity for both Labour and Conservative parties, with Labour at 24% and Conservatives at 22%. Reform UK leads slightly at 25%, indicating a shift from the traditional two-party system to a more fragmented political landscape.
With the Conservatives defending nearly 1,000 seats in historically strong areas, they face significant risks, especially as many former Labour voters have shifted to Reform. While Labour and the Liberal Democrats may gain ground, Reform UK could potentially win seats from the Conservatives, particularly in regions like Lincolnshire.
Fox News: White House rips alleged Pentagon leakers' 'shattered egos,' brushes off Hegseth second Signal chat report
The White House dismissed reports regarding Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's involvement in a second Signal group chat discussing military strikes on Yemen, labeling it a "nonstory." White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly emphasized that no classified information was shared and criticized recently fired DoD staffers for misrepresenting the situation.
Hegseth also downplayed the reports, attributing them to "disgruntled employees." The Pentagon is currently facing scrutiny due to recent leaks and firings of top aides amid ongoing investigations. The administration maintains that the case is closed and continues to support National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.
