Senator Mark Kelly sues Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth over attempted demotion
Senator Mark Kelly has filed a lawsuit against Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth following an attempted demotion. The incident took place in Washington, D.C., last Thursday during a closed-door meeting at the Capitol.
According to Senator Kelly, Defence Secretary Hegseth informed him of the decision to demote him from his position as Chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Senator Kelly contests this action, stating that it was unjustified and politically motivated. He claims that the attempted demotion is an attack on his reputation and a ploy to undermine his authority within the Senate. Senator Kelly’s legal team has filed the lawsuit in federal court seeking an injunction to block the demotion.
In response to these allegations, Defence Secretary Hegseth’s office released a statement asserting that the decision was based on Senator Kelly’s alleged mishandling of classified information during a recent committee hearing. The statement emphasized the importance of upholding security protocols and suggested that the demotion was necessary to maintain the integrity of the committee.
The lawsuit is expected to bring to light the specifics of the alleged security breach and the circumstances surrounding Senator Kelly’s attempted demotion. The legal battle between Senator Kelly and Defence Secretary Hegseth is likely to unfold in the coming weeks, revealing more details about the incident and the motivations behind it.
