In a sizzling reaction to calls for his resignation earlier this week, Hegseeth wrote on social media: “So, let me get this right. The Atlantic Ocean has released the so -called “war plans” and include “plans”: no names. No goals. No locations. No units. No routes. No sources. No methods. And no classified information. Those are a number of real SH *** Y war plans. '
On Wednesday Trump said: 'Hegseeth is doing great, he had nothing to do with this. How do you bring Hegseeth into this? '
The president also supported Waltz, but said that his national security adviser was responsible for the journalist who was in the group cat.

Trump said: 'Mike Waltz, he claimed responsibility, I would imagine. It had nothing to do with someone else. It was Mike, I think, I don't know, I was told that it was Mike. '
He added: “No harm was done because the attack was incredibly successful that night.”
In the chat, Hegseeth, a former Fox News-Journalist, shared details, including when F-18s launched a 'first strike package', the type of MQ-9 drones that would be used, and the exact moment 'The first bombs will certainly fall.'

There are growing rumbling among the Republicans in the congress about the affair.
Republican Senator Kevin Cramer, a member of the Senate Committee for armed services, said: “It is the first strike in the early stages of an administration. I don't know how many strikes you get. In baseball you get three. Maybe this is worth two. '
In the meantime, Hegseeth revealed a never-viewed Arab script tattoo on his arm.
He placed an image of himself who did jumping jackets and push-ups with navy seals at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii.
The tattoo has the Arabic word 'kafir', which in the Koran means 'unbeliever' or 'infidel'.
