Hegseth’s Signal Messages Put U.S. Troops at Risk - Pentagon Report

The Pentagon watchdog’s report found that Pete Hegseth used the Signal app on his personal phone to share sensitive details about a planned U.S. strike in Yemen. Investigators said this violated defense rules and could have put U.S. service members in danger if the information had leaked. The chat even accidentally included a journalist, raising serious concerns about security lapses. While Hegseth’s office insists that “no classified information was shared,” lawmakers say the episode shows a serious lapse in judgment.
