Hegseth Used Multiple Signal Chats for Official Pentagon Business: WSJ
- Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth used the Signal app for official Pentagon business across at least a dozen separate chats, including sensitive military discussions.
- Hegseth preferred Signal over Pentagon secure systems for daily operations, despite spotty phone service requiring aides to relocate to read messages.
- In March 2025, Hegseth shared detailed plans of a prospective military strike against Yemen's Houthi targets in a Signal group chat that mistakenly included The Atlantic's editor-in-chief.
- Hegseth said he shared only informal, unclassified information and denied sending classified data, stating, "nobody was texting war plans."
- In April 2025, the Defense Department inspector general began assessing whether Hegseth's use of Signal violated department rules or involved the dissemination of sensitive government material.
