US EditionHegseth Signal messages came from email classified ‘SECRET,’ watchdog told
UNITED STATES, JUL 23 – Pentagon Inspector General confirmed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared classified U.S. military strike plans on Signal, contradicting prior administration denials during ongoing investigation.
- In March 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared classified details about a U.S. military strike targeting Yemen through an encrypted Signal group chat based in Washington.
- The details originated from a confidential email sent by Gen. Michael Kurilla via the Pentagon’s secure SIPRNet system, which was designated with a classification restricting access to U.S. personnel only and excluding foreign nationals.
- The Signal chats included top officials and a reporter who was inadvertently added, sparking bipartisan concern and calls for review of Hegseth’s use of unclassified messaging apps.
- Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell and other officials have consistently maintained that no sensitive or classified details were communicated through the Signal app, emphasizing that operational security was preserved.
- The Pentagon’s inspector general launched a formal review of Hegseth’s Signal use, signaling ongoing scrutiny and potential policy changes for sharing sensitive military information.
