‘You Know About This?’ Trump Whispers to Hegseth During Reporter’s Question

President Donald Trump held a wild cabinet meeting on Tuesday, during which he threatened the media, mocked Chuck Schumer, and discussed his White House redecorations.

At one point, a reporter asked the president about reports that Russia has used chemical weapons in Ukraine. According to Dutch and German intelligence, Russian forces have deployed choking agents from drones to force Ukrainians out of trenches so they can be shot. The U.S. accused Russia of using chemical weapons last year.

The reporter noted the Dutch and German intelligence findings and asked Trump, “What does U.S. intelligence believe and what do you believe about the use of chemical weapons?”

As she spoke, Trump leaned back in his chair and slowly turned to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who was to the president’s left.

“Do you know about this, Pete?” Trump whispered as the reporter kept speaking.

“John might know,” Hegseth replied, referring to CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

“I’d ask John, maybe, to discuss it, if you’d like,” Trump told the reporter. “John?”

“Mr. President, obviously, chemical weapons – if it’s documented and it’s used – it’s illegal,” Ratcliffe replied to the president. “It’s against all international laws of armed conflict and treaties. And obviously, I can’t share in this room with this audience, the intelligence that I can share with you, privately. But obviously, you’re not gonna stand or allow for any violations of international law by anyone.”

“That’s right,” Trump responded. “Thank you.”
