Hegseth did not agree to an interview with investigators but submitted written responses. He noted he has the authority to declassify material, but there was no indication he did before he shared it.

Did experiments by simulating some common video call scenarios like health consultations or sales pitches to see how people in glitch free video calls are perceived compared to people whose videos have brief freezes, lags or audio echoes.
