The Trump administration has completed a review into Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's use of a messaging app to discuss military actions — and now a watchdog aims to make those findings public.

In March, news broke that Hegseth and several other members of President Donald Trump 's cabinet used the encrypted, auto-deleting Signal messaging app to discuss attacks in the Middle East.

In turn, nonprofit government transparency organization American Oversight filed the first lawsuit in the matter — ultimately prompting a court order directing government officials to preserve records and spurring an office of the inspector general (OIG) investigation.

Now, the watchdog has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking release of the OIG findings.
