Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used his personal phone to share details about U.S. military operations in Yemen in a Signal group chat with 13 people, including his wife and brother. This came after an aide warned him not to share sensitive information on unsecure communications before the Yemen operation. The New York Times reported that the information shared in the chat was similar to what Hegseth had shared with administration officials previously. Despite claims that no classified information was shared, criticisms from Democrats have arisen, with calls for Hegseth to be fired due to putting lives at risk. In the midst of this scandal, the Defense Department has seen significant turnover, with top advisers being forced out in connection with an investigation into allegations of leaking sensitive information. The turnover has led to further scrutiny and accusations of incompetence within the administration. Senators Schumer, Warner, and Duckworth have all voiced concerns over Hegseth’s actions and the potential threats to national security. The situation remains tense, with ongoing investigations and calls for accountability within the Defense Department.
