on the Signal messaging app where details of air strikes in Yemen were discussed along with other highly sensitive national security matters.A National Security Council spokesperson confirmed that the message chain “appears to be authentic,” and said, “We are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain.”

More embarrassing still, the incident came after Hegseth on Friday hailed the Trump administration’s professionalism at an event awarding a contract to Boeing to build a next-generation fighter jet.But it was Hegseth who reportedly texted the group “precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing” of American strikes on Yemen set to take place hours later, Goldberg said.

Initially skeptical that he was receiving actual administration plans, Goldberg said he realized the messages were genuine when the bombings took place as the thread had outlined.Hegseth just inadvertently let a reporter have access highly sensitive real time planning discussions and the subsequent bombing attack with the VP and most senior members of the Trump cabinet & national security team in on the discussions. Hegseth is a national embarrassment.
