The White House is in hot water right now as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth finds himself under serious scrutiny. Word is, he may have shared some pretty sensitive details about U.S. airstrikes in Yemen through a private Signal chat—yeah, a casual group that reportedly included his wife, brother, and personal lawyer. None of them have security clearance, by the way.
This isn’t the first time something like this has happened either. A journalist was accidentally added to a similar group before, which caused a major breach. Now, people are calling for heads to roll. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Tammy Duckworth, a veteran herself, have both demanded Hegseth’s resignation, saying this kind of slip-up puts lives at risk.
Despite all that, Trump is standing by Hegseth, brushing it off as just another political hit job. The Pentagon hasn’t confirmed if any classified info was actually leaked, but the Senate Armed Services Committee has already launched an investigation. Bottom line? This mess has raised some big questions about how information is handled at the highest levels—and whether the right people are even in charge of it.
