John Brennan: Signal Group Chat Leak ‘Reflects the Inexperience of Pete Hegseth’
EXCERPT:
BRENNAN: “Well, I’m thinking that I’m worried that — how my intelligence that I might be sharing with the United States intelligence community is being handled. But, as Peter points out, I mean, the administration seems to be digging a deeper hole for themselves here. You know, mistakes do happen. This is a bad mistake. And I think it reflects the inexperience of Pete Hegseth in terms of what he put on that chat. But from the standpoint of our foreign allies and partners, I think they’re looking at us with great concern because they already knew that Donald Trump has a history of carelessly and recklessly handling classified information. Now, individuals who are at the helm of our national security structure, and including the National Security Adviser, the fact that they don’t have the common sense to prevent something like this from happening, and then adding Jeffrey Goldberg’s name to this chat makes it even worse.”
