A Pentagon Inspector General on Thursday announced an investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of the double-encrypted app Signal.
Steven Stebbins took over as Acting Inspector General after President Trump fired the previous IG and 17 other inspectors general.
Stebbins was first appointed to his position in 2015.
IG Stebbins’ memo informed Pete Hegseth that he is under investigation to determine whether he violated policy by discussing the Houthi strikes in Yemen over Signal.
The investigation was launched after the top Senators on the Senate Armed Service Committee, Roger Wicker (R) and Jack Reed (D), made a request to the Pentagon’s Inspector General.
“The purpose of this memorandum is to notify you that we are initiating the subject evaluation. We are conducting this evaluation in response to a March 26, 2025 letter I received from the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, requesting that I conduct an inquiry into recent public reporting on the Secretary of Defense’s use of an unclassified commercially available messaging application to discuss information pertaining to military actions in Yemen in March 2025,” Inspector General Stebbins wrote.
