Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) stands accused of exposing top secret information on CBS News’ Face the Nation. He was reacting after having attended a Pentagon classified briefing on the Iran War’s impact on stockpiled weapons. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is seeking legal counsel on whether charges can be brought against Kelly or not.
He told Face the Nation, “… the numbers are, I think it’s fair to say it’s shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines, because this president got our country into this without a strategic goal, without a plan, without a timeline, and because of that, we’ve expended a lot of munitions, and that means the American people are less safe, whether it’s a conflict in the western Pacific with China or somewhere else in the world, the munitions are depleted. You may have seen me ask the Secretary of Defense this question about how long it’s going to take to replenish. We’re talking about years.”
