"The report, slated to be released on Thursday, is said to recommend further training in the handling of sensitive information. The Pentagon's inspector general has reportedly determined that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth improperly used the messaging app Signal to convey sensitive information, thereby putting a United States military operation at risk. Media reports, released on Wednesday, offered a preview of the inspector general's report, slated to be released in full on Thursday."
"Goldberg described how, on March 11, he received an invitation to join a Signal chat, apparently sent by then-national security adviser Mike Waltz. Unsure whether the message was a hoax, Goldberg nevertheless accepted the invitation. Two days later, he said, he found himself in the middle of a conversation that appeared to feature some of the most senior officials in President Donald Trump's administration."
The Pentagon inspector general determined that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth improperly used the Signal messaging app to transmit sensitive information, creating risk to a U.S. military operation. Anonymous sources told news agencies that use of a personal device to send sensitive information violated Pentagon policy. On March 11, Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg received an invitation to a Signal chat apparently sent by then-national security adviser Mike Waltz and joined despite uncertainty. Two days later the chat appeared to include senior administration officials including Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Hegseth reportedly disclosed precise timing and details of a March 15 attack on Houthi rebels in Yemen.
