Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accused Sen. Mark Kelly of disclosing classified information about U.S. weapons stockpiles after Kelly discussed their depletion on CBS, and ordered the Pentagon's legal counsel to review the matter. Kelly responded that he was quoting directly from Hegseth's own testimony in a public Senate Armed Services Committee hearing one week earlier, and shared video evidence of those remarks. The accusation is part of a broader dispute: Hegseth has previously sought to demote, censure, and reduce Kelly's retirement pay over unrelated military comments, raising questions about whether the current review represents a serious legal inquiry or escalation of political conflict.
