A Pentagon investigation found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used the Signal app on his personal device to discuss sensitive details of planned US strikes in Yemen, according to Reuters sources. Investigators warned the move could have put US troops at risk, and the report says Hegseth provided only a few messages for review, forcing officials to rely on screenshots published by The Atlantic, which showed him discussing a planned strike just hours before it happened. The Pentagon says he has been cleared, and Hegseth maintains no classified information was shared.
