Trump says he would ask Hegseth to review if flight times should be classified
by Alex Gangitano - 03/26/25 7:20 PM ET
President Trump on Wednesday said he would ask Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to review what kinds of information should be classified, especially flight times, after they were included in the Signal group chat.
The White House has insisted that no classified information was shared in the chat after The Atlantic released screenshots on Wednesday showing Hegseth relayed specific information related to weapons used and the timing of attacks. The Pentagon chief told other top officials on Signal the exact times American F-18 fighter aircraft and MQ-9 drones took off for Yemen before the March 15 airstrikes.
When asked whether he would ask Hegseth if flight times and sequencing should be considered classified, Trump replied that he would consider it.
“Sure. I’ll ask him. Sure. I would,” Trump said while taking questions from reporters in the Oval Office. “You can view that two ways, frankly — there’s a lot of ways to answer that question, but I’d certainly ask him to take a look.”
