Sen #RogerWicker (R-MS) rebuked #Hegseth for telegraphing concessions #Ukraine would need to make to end the war. He even suggestively said that #PeteHegseth “wasn’t my choice for the job,” despite voting to confirm him.…
Just >2 months later, though, Hegseth’s mistakes just keep piling up. Yet a Republican congressional contingent that has shown precious little interest in oversight of #Trump & his admin has shown almost no interest in asserting itself in this matter.
#Senate #ArmedServices Cmte requests #Pentagon's acting #InspectorGeneral to investigate #Signal chat

#Punchbowl reporter #JakeSherman revealed.. #SenateRepublicans may have "buyer's remorse" after allowing #SecretaryOfDefense #PeteHegseth 2 sail through confirmation
Speaking to #MSNBC Wednesday, host #KatyTur noted "significant Republican" Sen. #RogerWicker of #Mississippi, chair of the #SenateArmedServicesCommittee, has indicated he's unhappy about what has been coined "#Signalgate"
Punchbowl reporter Jake Sherman revealed that Senate Republicans may have "buyer's remorse" after allowing Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to sail through confirmation. Speaking to MSNBC on Wednesday, host Katy Tur noted "significant Republican" Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi, chair of the Senat...
Sen #RogerWicker, #Republican of MS & the chair of the #Senate panel which has #oversight of the #Pentagon, says that he & his Democratic counterpart will request an expedited investigation by the Dept of #Defense Office of Inspector General into the #Signal group chat. Wicker & Sen #JackReed, Democrat of RI & the top Dem on the cmte, are also seeking to hold classified briefings on the matter.
It’s unclear who will oversee the investigation because #Trump fired the IG at the Pentagon.
Most #Republicans stood up to applaud #Trump’s announcement that he would impose reciprocal #tariffs on April 2, but several remained seated, including Sens #LisaMurkowski (Alaska), #SusanCollins (Maine) & #RogerWicker (Mississippi).
I don’t care if they sit or stand. I want them to vote for the US interests & stop kowtowing to Trump.
