The Pentagon’s inspector general has released its report examining Hegseth’s sharing of sensitive information about U.S. strikes in Yemen on a Signal group chat earlier this year. The report found Hegseth’s actions “created a risk to operational security that could have resulted in failed U.S. mission objectives and potential harm to U.S. pilots.” The report also criticized Hegseth’s use of a personal cellphone to conduct official business. Hegseth himself refused to cooperate with the investigation, refusing to hand over his phone or sit for an interview.
