“ Late Show ” host Stephen Colbert on Thursday teased Pete Hegseth with a blast from the past after the Pentagon’s watchdog found the defense secretary’s use of the Signal messaging app risked “potential compromise of sensitive DoD information, which could cause harm to DoD personnel.”
Hegseth has faced major backlash after news reports found that the U.S. authorized a second strike in the Caribbean that killed two men in the water who survived the initial attack on an alleged drug boat. While Hegseth initially said the Washington Post report was “fake news,” the White House confirmed on Monday that the second strike happened.

Pete Hegseth touts higher physical standards for military, says 'so be it' if it excludes women
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth detailed new military physical standards requiring all members to meet the highest male standard for their positions in an interview with Katie Miller.
Hegseth responded to the Democrats’ video by publishing a tweet last week that said Kelly, a retired Navy fighter pilot, was facing investigation because he is the only one in that group who formally retired from the military and remains under the Pentagon’s jurisdiction.
The inspector general report was highly critical of Hegseth, saying that the secretary’s use of Signal put U.S. troops and the mission in danger.
Rep. Jim Himes called the unedited footage of the second strike on the Venezuelan boat "one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service."
