This matter is resolved and the case is closed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The scandal of the Signal chat, called Signalgate at the time, first broke in March when an Atlantic journalist was mistakenly added to the chat in question. In April, the IG launched a probe into the scandal, intended to examine whether Secretary Hegseth improperly discussed operational plans. The IG also promised to review compliance with classification requirements.\n<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration has maintained that no classified info was shared in the Signal chat. The IG report didn\u2019t find that classified information was shared, but it did find that Secretary Hegseth\u2019s behavior endangered members of the military.\n<\/p>\n<p>As our leaders face different challenges and circumstances, let\u2019s pray they would rule justly and with integrity.\n<\/p>\n<h4>What do you think of this report?
