Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's actions have come under scrutiny following revelations that he shared sensitive military information regarding upcoming strikes in Yemen via a private Signal group chat. The chat included family members and personal associates, including his wife, brother, and personal lawyer, raising questions about the appropriateness of sharing such details with non-defense personnel. This incident follows another misstep in which sensitive plans were mistakenly shared with the editor of The Atlantic, prompting concerns about Hegseth's management and decision-making as a newly appointed defense official.
"The information Mr. Hegseth shared on the Signal chat included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting the Houthis in Yemen."
"The newly revealed one was created by Mr. Hegseth... and was named Defense | Team Huddle, the people familiar with the chat said."
