Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly held a private Signal chat discussing upcoming Yemen strikes with personal contacts, including family and a lawyer. This chat shared potentially sensitive flight schedules for military operations against Houthis. Although a US official stated there was no national security breach, critics, including Democratic lawmakers, have raised alarms about Hegseth's apparent disregard for rules governing the sharing of military information. The situation reflects ongoing concerns regarding operational security and the blending of personal and professional communication channels in government.
"A US official told the NYT that there was no national security breach, but wouldn't comment on whether Hegseth shared detailed targeting information."
"If true, this incident is another troubling example of Secretary Hegseth's reckless disregard for the laws and protocols that every other military service member is required to follow."
