U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is under scrutiny after reportedly sharing sensitive details about a March military strike on Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis. Hegset disclosed the information in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother, and personal lawyer, according to Reuters. This marks the second instance of Hegseth allegedly using unclassified messaging apps to disclose national security information. The chat reportedly discussed the timing of the air strikes and was created during his confirmation process. The revelations follow a separate incident where a senior journalist was mistakenly included in another Signal group with Hegseth and other Trump officials.
