U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is under intense scrutiny after multiple reports revealed he shared classified military information, including plans for airstrikes in Yemen, via the encrypted messaging app Signal.
The Pentagon's inspector general has obtained evidence that the information originated from emails marked 'SECRET' and 'NOFORN,' directly contradicting previous Trump administration denials. The scandal erupted when a journalist was accidentally added to the Signal group chat, exposing the sensitive communications. Calls for Hegseth's resignation have grown, with critics arguing his actions endangered national security and undermined trust within the Defense Department.
The ongoing investigation has led to internal turmoil, with aides reportedly leaving and morale plummeting.
