Pentagon to review Kelly remarks on depleted US munitions after Hegseth claim

TL;DR
Sen. Mark Kelly’s comments about depleted U.S. munitions prompted Fox News’s Pete Hegseth to refer him to Pentagon lawyers for allegedly disclosing a classified briefing; Kelly says the remarks came from Hegseth’s own statements at an open Senate hearing, not a classified session. The episode is part of a broader feud over Kelly’s conduct, including past censure attempts and a DOJ probe into a video about refusing unlawful orders, while a court blocked parts of the retaliation and the Pentagon declined to comment on the current review.
