The messages Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sent to a March Signal chat regarding the U.S. plans to bomb Houthi targets in Yemen came from an email labeled “SECRET/NOFORN,” according to the Pentagon’s independent watchdog.
People familiar with the report told The Washington Post that the attack plans had initially been shared with more than a dozen Defense officials via a classified email sent over a classified system by U.S. Central Command head Gen. Michael “Erik” Kurilla.
Hegseth then posted the details in the unclassified Signal group chat directly before Washington launched its attacks March 15. He also shared the information in a separate chat that included his wife, brother and personal attorney.
