Kelly Blasted by Hegseth for Talking About ‘Shocking’ Stockpile Depletion

Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly is being blasted by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth after speaking publicly on depleted munitions stockpiles, with the lawmaker accused of revealing classified information.

However, Kelly argues the Pentagon has already publicly acknowledged depleted munitions.

In an interview aired Sunday, Kelly told CBS News that he had received “shocking” information on stockpile shortages in briefings from the Department of War.

“A number of times we’ve been briefed by the Pentagon on specific munitions… It’s been pretty detailed on Tomahawks, on ATACMs, SM-3s, THAAD rounds… interceptor rounds to defend ourselves,” said Kelly, who added it was “shocking… how deep we have gone into these magazines.” 

He continued, “we’ve expended a lot of munitions, and that means the American people are less safe.”

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth condemned the senator’s remarks, implying he had violated the law by discussing classified briefings.
