CNN aired footage of
Donald Trump's current cabinet members attacking Hillary Clinton during her 2016 presidential campaign after it was revealed that she used a private email server to access classified information during her time as secretary of state.
Marco Rubio said of the former first lady, "Nobody is above the law — not even Hillary Clinton, even though she thinks she is."
"The exposure of sensitive information to foreign intelligence agencies by communicating in an insecure manner is incompetence, it is malpractice, it's inexcusable," he continued.

In the video footage, Pete Hegseth declared that Hillary Clinton should've been imprisoned.
"If it was anyone other than Hillary Clinton, they would be in jail right now," Hegseth, who was a Fox News co-host in 2016, said at the time.

CNN's Kaitlan Collins interviewed The Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg about the group chat security breach and shared the clip on X.
"After Secretary [Pete] Hegseth argued 'nobody was texting war plans,' The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg responds: 'That's a lie. He was texting war plans, he was texting attack plans,'" Collins tweeted.

The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg did not publish all of the sensitive information discussed in the group chat.
"When targets were going to be targeted, how they were going to be targeted, who was at the targets, when the next sequence of attacks were happening — I didn't publish this … because it felt like it was too confidential," Goldberg said.

X users commented on the scandal after seeing Jeffrey Goldberg's interview.
"There seems to be a more reckless to potentially catastrophic side to the story," one X user wrote.
"[It's] not just a screw-up — it's a counterintelligence emergency," the X user added. "This isn't about embarrassment anymore. It's about whether U.S. war plans were exposed to a hostile foreign power in real time."

Other users called for Pete Hegseth to be terminated.
"Hegseth must be fired," one X user argued.
