His prolific use of the unclassified messaging app has generated intense scrutiny after it was revealed that he allegedly shared sensitive military intel in at least two group chats.

Two sources familiar with the situation told the Associated Press that Hegseth’s “dirty line”—which routes directly into public internet—raises alarms that any information shared over the line could have been compromised by hackers or foreign surveillance networks.
