Pete Hegseth Accuses Mark Kelly of Disclosing Classified Information

Outlets agree Hegseth asked Pentagon legal counsel to review Mark Kelly’s remarks about U.S. weapons stockpiles, accusing him of discussing classified information. Kelly said the information had been discussed at a public hearing. Left-leaning outlets portray the review as an effort to punish Kelly and stress his claim that he repeated Hegseth’s public testimony. Center outlets generally report the accusation, proposed review and Kelly’s response, sometimes situating them in a broader dispute. Right-leaning outlets foreground Hegseth’s accusation and legal review, while several also include Kelly’s public-hearing response.
