SignalGate

The Plot Twist No One Saw Coming

This week on The Writer’s Verdict, we’re diving into SignalGate, because let’s be honest, if I pitched this as a novel, my editor would have laughed me out of the room. A journalist mysteriously added to U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’sofficial government Signal chat? Sounds like a rejected thriller subplot, yet here we are.

So, what would you have done? Stayed quiet? Screen-shotted everything? Or backed out faster than a spy in a bad disguise? And why does this scandal feel like it’s being treated with all the urgency of a surprise party gone wrong?

Join me as we unpack the real-life plot twist that’s somehow wilder than fiction.
