US Defense Secretary Faces Heat Over Signal Chat Security Breach 👀🔒

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is under fire after reportedly sharing sensitive military plans in a *second* private Signal chat group involving family and advisors, sparking major security concerns. According to The New York Times, Hegseth discussed details of a March strike against Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis in a chat that included his wife, brother, and personal lawyer 🚨.

The leaked messages allegedly matched intel first exposed by The Atlantic after its editor was accidentally added to a separate Signal chat with Trump-era national security officials. Talk about a *'reply-all' nightmare* 💥! Officials claim nothing classified was shared—but critics aren’t convinced.

The fallout has already begun. Top adviser Dan Caldwell was escorted out of the Pentagon last week amid a leak probe, while two junior staffers were placed on leave. Senator Chuck Schumer slammed the breaches, demanding Hegseth’s dismissal: 'Trump is too weak to fire him!' 🔥

Why It Matters

With the U.S. aggressively chasing leaks, this scandal highlights the risks of mixing personal tech with national security. Stay tuned—this story’s still unfolding 🕵️♂️.
