Today, Senate President Martin Looney and Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff called on Connecticut Republicans and their legislative leadership to join them in demanding that U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth resign amid reports that senior Trump administration officials used an unsecured messaging app to share classified war plans endangering the lives of American service members.
“The reckless actions of U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and several other top members of the Trump administration put the lives of American service members in jeopardy. Sharing classified information on unprotected channels is an unprecedented and illegal security breach that could have led to disaster for our armed forces and put our fighter pilots in grave danger. In the wake of these sobering developments, with the full published texts available for any American to read, the Trump administration refuses to take accountability and apologize to our service members and their families. Instead, they continue to deny, deflect, and attack the media.
“We call for Connecticut Republicans and their legislative leadership to join us in calling for Secretary Hegseth to resign from his office. Republicans can no longer deny and deflect these national security issues; the lives of American service members depend on it. Silence is complicity and irresponsibility.”
