US defense secretary shared war plans with family in 2nd Signal chat — report
|
|
Three questions:
1. Why does the New York Times have this information?
2. Is it true or is someone making things up again?
2.a. If false, is the New York Times lying or were they fed false information?
3. Only if it is true, what the heck, Secretary Hegseth!
The claim: [IsraelTimes] Hegseth sent detailed info on upcoming military strikes on Yemen’s Houthis in a private group that included his wife, brother and lawyer, The New York Times says
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared details of a March attack on Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
’s Iran-aligned Iran's Houthi sock puppets
 ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth . Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
s before it took place in a message group that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, the New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
reported on Sunday, raising more questions about his use of an unclassified messaging system to share highly sensitive security details.
Hegseth allegedly shared the same details of the attack that were revealed last month by The Atlantic magazine after its editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, was included in a separate chat on the Signal app by mistake, in an embarrassing incident involving all of President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
’s most senior national security officials.
That Signal chat saw officials including Hegseth and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz discuss the coming strikes, which took place on March 15. Goldberg was exposed to discussions between the brass hats about the strikes, which he then reported on after the bombings went ahead.
The revelation sparked an uproar, with Trump’s administration facing a scandal over the accidental leak. A Pentagon Inspector-General’s probe into that leak is ongoing.
Trump largely pinned the blame for the earlier leak on Waltz, but dismissed calls to fire brass hats and insisted instead on what he called the success of the raids on the Yemeni rebels.
The Times, citing four sources familiar with the message group, said that the second chat included details of the schedule of the air strikes, similarly to the first chat reported on by The Atlantic.
The paper said the chat was created by Hegseth himself before he was confirmed as defense secretary, and included around a dozen people in his inner circle. He used his private phone to access it.
Hegseth’s wife, Jennifer, a former Fox News producer, has also reportedly attended sensitive meetings with foreign military counterparts, the Wall Street Journal has separately reported.
A source with knowledge of the matter told The Times that Hegseth was cautioned by aides in the days before the Yemen strikes to refrain from sharing delicate operational information in his Signal group chat.
Revelations of another use of Signal for classified information come as one of Hegseth’s leading advisers, Dan Caldwell, was escorted from the Pentagon last week after being identified during an investigation into leaks at the Department of Defense, a US official told Rooters.
Following Caldwell’s departure, less bigwigs Darin Selnick, who recently became Hegseth’s deputy chief of staff, and Colin Carroll, who was chief of staff to Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg, were put on administrative leave, officials said.
The Senate’s top Democrat demanded that the defense secretary be dismissed over the blunders.
"We keep learning how Pete Hegseth put lives at risk," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 49.37455 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
said in a post to X. "But Trump is still too weak to fire him. Pete Hegseth must be fired."
The Trump administration has aggressively pursued leaks, an effort that has been enthusiastically embraced by Hegseth at the Pentagon.
The Pentagon was not immediately available for comment.
"I can say no more!"
The White House did not immediately return a message.
