US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly shared sensitive information about military operations in Yemen through a personal chat on Signal, which included approximately a dozen participants, among them his wife. The information, which comprised flight schedules for military strikes, was similar to that shared in an official chat. Created before his confirmation, this informal group chat was intended for his close personal and professional contacts, raising questions about his communication practices and adherence to security protocols.
He used his personal phone for the other chat, which once included "about a dozen" people, including his wife.
The chat included his wife and "about a dozen" others he knew personally and professionally, the outlet writes, citing conversations with four unnamed sources.
This chat was created by Mr. Hegseth before his confirmation as defense secretary, and was named "Defense | Team Huddle."
Hegseth typically did not use the chat to discuss sensitive military operations and said it did not include other cabinet-level officials.
