Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth arranged for the messaging app Signal to be used on a computer in his Pentagon office to communicate more easily in areas lacking cell service. This setup was made necessary by restrictions on personal cellphone use in specific Pentagon areas. Hegseth, along with some aides, had this capability after installing cables to connect to a private computer. This came into scrutiny after reports surfaced regarding the sharing of sensitive military plans with personal contacts prior to a planned operation in Yemen.
