Summary
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly shared sensitive details about U.S. military strikes in Yemen with two separate Signal group chats, including one he created with personal associates. According to the New York Times, Hegseth disclosed attack plans and flight schedules for F/A-18 Hornets in both a private chat of his own design and another created by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz. The existence of these chats has fueled criticism over his handling of the Pentagon, especially after two of his senior advisers were fired last week for unauthorized leaks.
