Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had the Signal app installed on an office computer because he couldn’t get cell phone service in the Pentagon, according to a report.

Hegseth directed the installation of the encrypted app on a desktop Pentagon computer as a “work-around that enabled him to use Signal in a classified space,” the Washington Post reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The embattled former Fox News host discussed with aides how the app could enable them to coordinate more quickly with White House officials because of the Pentagon’s lack of cell phone service, according to the Post.

It is the latest in the Signalgate saga involving Hegseth’s use of the app to discuss military plans, which he has repeatedly claimed were not classified.

Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell denied the Post’s reporting in a statement to The Independent.

1. Somehow, I don't believe if he were using his GOVT ISSUED PHONE, coverage would be a problem.

4. Yep, and I suspect if the idiot can have a make-up room installed, he can have...

a scif intalled next to his office IN THE PENTAGON instead of a signal apt of questionable security on his cellphone.

Not just a drunk and alleged rapist, but also vain, as attested to by the silver dye streak in hia hair.

6. Yup.

2. Aside from the fact that he should not have been using Signal in the first place . . .

. . . he was still using Signal on his phone whenever he was in a coverage area. He does not possess the composure, tempernent, and attention span to stay seated for more than a few minutes on a work detail in front of a desktop computer.

3. Maybe cell service (or lack thereof) in the pentagon was for a good reason

What a stupid jerkoff

5. Sounds like a "reason" attempting to exculpate him.
