Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed details about U.S. airstrikes in Yemen to a private Signal group that included his wife, brother, and personal attorney, raising concerns about handling sensitive military information. The messages contained flight schedules for F/A-18 Hornets and were sent on March 15, coinciding with another chat that mistakenly included The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. In response, a Defense Department spokesperson asserted that no classified information was shared, criticizing media outlets for relying on disgruntled former employees for their reports.
