A Pentagon inspector general investigation has found evidence that U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared classified military information, including plans for airstrikes in Yemen, via the encrypted messaging app Signal.
The information reportedly originated from emails marked 'SECRET' and 'NOFORN,' directly contradicting previous denials from Hegseth and the Trump administration that no classified material was disclosed. The scandal, dubbed 'Signalgate,' has led to calls for Hegseth's resignation and investigations into his top aides. The breach reportedly put national security and the safety of U.S. servicemembers at risk.
The Pentagon continues to publicly deny wrongdoing, despite mounting evidence from its own watchdog.
