Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s improper use of the Signal group chat to discuss sensitive military plans earlier this year could have endangered troops, the Pentagon inspector general determined, according to multiple reports.
Hegseth shared plans for a military strike on Houthi rebels in Yemen in March with unauthorized individuals and did not preserve the communications as federal law requires, multiple outlets reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with the report.
The information Hegseth shared stemmed from an email initially marked classified, the watchdog reportedly found.
