NYT’s Greg Jaffe on Hegseth’s New Signal Chat: He Is a ‘Very Inexperienced Secretary’

EXCERPT:

JAFFE: “The chat as you noted, included his wife, his brother, his personal attorney, and most of his inner circle, which has been in a state of tumult these last couple of weeks. And I think it's worth noting it's a very inexperienced inner circle, and he's a very inexperienced secretary. So it's a group of people who hadn't been used to operating at this level of government. And I think that's the other kind of key point here. He doesn't have a lot of experience at senior officials, and he's surrounding himself with people who also kind of lack experience.”
