After a weekend of new revelations and headlines, the White House today faced more questions

about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegset. And at least one Republican lawmaker is now calling on him

to resign. Some of this is related to Hegset's use of the signal messaging app to text

operational details of military action. But our Lisa Desjardin joins us now to report that is not the

only issue here. So Lisa, that sets us up well. Take us through what has transpired in recent days.

A lot to say. So I want to be very clear. Let's start with last Friday. Now, on that day,

that is when four top Pentagon staffers in Hegsa's inner circle were suddenly out.

That includes the top staffer, his chief of staff there, who resigned from that job, as political reported.

And three others who were just below that chief of staff level, all have known him a long time, all accused in the media of leaking and were fired.

Next, Sunday. The New York Times reported, and PBS has confirmed that Hegeseth used a second

signal chat in which he messaged sensitive information about that Yemen attack.

And per our source, he included in that chat his wife.

That includes, that's obviously a major breach of security and secrecy

protocols. Then also yesterday, Hegg says, former top communications person, his chief spokesperson,

John Elliott, wrote an op-ed in Politico, saying he needed to go. Now, if you read that op-ed,

you saw that Elliott wrote that the Pentagon is no longer focused on war fighting

but on endless drama and chaos. Elliot is a Marine veteran, but he's also a DC communications

veteran, so him writing that op-ed is highly unusual and significant. What are the White House and

Hegeseth saying today in response to all of this? They are strongly defending.

They are defense chief.

They have said that, in fact, Hegeseth himself spoke this morning at the White House Easter Egg role.

This is what the media does.
