US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth shared sensitive information about the Donald Trump administration's attack on the Houthi rebels in March with his family members and friends, including his wife, brother, and lawyer, through a separate Signal group chat from his personal phone, The New York Times reported, citing sources.
This development comes as a major embarrassment for the Trump administration, occurring just weeks after US President's national security adviser Mike Waltz mistakenly added a journalist to a Signal group chat, sharing details of the attack ahead of US strikes in Yemen, causing outrage in the White House.
