Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing mounting criticism on a number of fronts. The New York Times reports the former Fox News host shared sensitive information about U.S. plans to strike Yemen on a second group chat on the Signal app. Participants in this chat reportedly included Hegseth’s wife and brother. Meanwhile, three top aides to Hegseth were fired last week under questionable circumstances. And a fourth former Pentagon official, John Ullyot, who just resigned as the Pentagon’s chief spokesperson, has written an opinion piece in Politico saying it has been a “month of total chaos at the Pentagon.”
