Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, urged Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to change current Pentagon policies so foreigners will no longer have access to its secure systems.
In a letter to Hegseth on Wednesday, Cotton said he believes this change “should be addressed immediately,” adding in a subsequent social media post that he introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that “permanently closes this loophole.”
