Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth opened a Pentagon investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly for publicly discussing classified information about U.S. weapons stockpiles during a TV interview. Multiple outlets confirm the investigation was triggered by Kelly's statements on CBS about munitions replenishment timelines.
