"The investigation remains ongoing," the official said without providing details about the nature of the alleged disclosure, including whether it was made to a journalist or to someone else.
[typical, punish the guy who let the press in on it, but not the freaking president’s CABINET MEMBERS who were actively divulging classified #military operations on a commercial app on their private devices!]

Although Caldwell is not as well known as other snr #Pentagon ofcls, he has played a critical role as an adviser to #Hegseth.
His importance was underscored in a leaked text chain on #Signal disclosed by #TheAtlantic.
In it, Hegseth named Caldwell as the best staff contact for the #NSC as it prepared for the launch of strikes against the Houthis.
Caldwell had drawn attention…for past views that critics have called #isolationist, but which advocates said sought to right-size America's priorities.
