Pete Hegseth, a political figure allied with Donald Trump, says he will seek a new legal review of U.S. Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) following Kelly’s recent appearance on national television. Multiple reports describe Hegseth as accusing Kelly of discussing a classified Pentagon briefing in a way that may violate an oath, using language that frames the remarks as “babbling” about classified information.
The renewed call for scrutiny is presented as part of an ongoing legal and political dispute between Hegseth and Kelly. According to the accounts, Hegseth’s comments reference prior allegations and suggest he believes Kelly’s conduct again raises questions about compliance with secrecy obligations. The reports do not indicate that any formal review has already concluded or that authorities have announced new charges.
Overall, the story centers on competing claims: Hegseth argues Kelly improperly discussed sensitive material during an interview, while the dispute remains active as Hegseth calls for additional examination of Kelly’s statements.
