Pete Hegseth has made a statement regarding his crass handling of state secrets: "I was on my way home from the bar when a charming man with an Eastern European accent approached me and asked if I could provide me any juicy details about US military operations. I hesitated at first but I saw he was offering me a swig of something quite delicious and so I immediately added him to our Very Secret WhatsApp group. Cheers!" #PeteHegseth #SignalGate
