Not really. Hegseth first said it never happened Then the WH confirmed it, but immediately added, “nothing to see here.” Gabbard testified before Congress that nothing important was revealed and then had to go back the next day and correct her statements. Everyone keeps saying, “it doesn’t matter; nothing classified was shared,” even though the standard for using Signal isn’t just “don’t share classified info,” it’s “don’t share info that hasn’t been approved for public use.” And K. Leavitt keeps calling Goldberg a fraud and suggesting that he caused the whole thing.

So, as confessions go, the WH one was pretty weak.
