Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared sensitive information regarding a March attack on Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis in a group chat on the messaging app Signal. The group chat included his wife, brother, and personal lawyer. The information shared included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting the Houthis in Yemen. The Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell accused The New York Times of being “Trump-hating media” and denied any classified information being shared in the chat. The incident has raised more questions due to the affiliations of Hegseth’s wife and brother. Some critics have called for Hegseth to be fired.
