Defense Secretary Shared Classified Yemen Strike Details in Private Chat

On March 15, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared sensitive military plans for strikes in Yemen—including F/A-18 Hornet flight schedules—in a private Signal group chat with his wife, brother, and personal lawyer, according to four people familiar with the matter.

The chat, separate from another Signal group that mistakenly included an editor from The Atlantic, was created by Hegseth earlier this year and included about a dozen people from his personal and professional circles. He used his personal phone to access the group, which was named “Defense | Team Huddle.”

Hegseth’s wife, Jennifer, a former Fox News producer who has no official role at the Pentagon, has faced criticism for attending classified meetings abroad. His brother Phil and lawyer Tim Parlatore both work at the Pentagon, though it's unclear why either would need access to classified strike plans.

The existence of this second chat has raised further concerns about Hegseth’s handling of sensitive information and his judgment as defense secretary.
