Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing criticism for sharing classified strike details in a private Signal group with his family. The New York Times reported that Hegseth shared details of a March attack on Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis in a message group that included his wife, brother, and personal lawyer. This raises concerns about his use of an unclassified messaging system to share sensitive security details. The Times also reported that Hegseth's wife has attended sensitive meetings with foreign military counterparts. This revelation comes as one of Hegseth's advisers was escorted from the Pentagon last week after being identified in an investigation into leaks at the Department of Defense.
