U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth allegedly shared sensitive military information about Yemen airstrikes in a group chat with his wife and others, raising concerns over his handling of classified details.
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared details of a March airstrike on Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis in a second private message group that included his wife, brother, and personal lawyer, according to The New York Times.
The chat, created during Hegseth’s confirmation hearings to coordinate with close allies, continued to be used after he assumed office, sources said. The group reportedly included more than a dozen participants.
According to the report, Hegseth disclosed the same operational details previously revealed by The Atlantic last month, which had been shared in a separate Signal group by mistake — one that included the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg.
The Times, citing four sources familiar with the second chat, reported that it contained information on the timing and schedule of the airstrikes.
The Wall Street Journal has also reported separately that Hegseth’s wife, Jennifer — a former Fox News producer — has attended sensitive meetings with foreign military officials.
This marks the second time Hegseth has been accused of sharing classified or sensitive military information via a commercial messaging app, raising further concerns about his use of unsecured platforms to communicate high-level security details.
