Pentagon Watchdog: Secretary’s Private Chats Risked Troop Safety

A Pentagon investigation found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth endangered sensitive information and potentially put U.S. troops at risk. The internal watchdog concluded his actions jeopardized military security. According to sources who spoke to CBS News, the issue involved Hegseth sharing operational details about U.S. military activities in Yemen. He communicated this information in a private group chat on the encrypted messaging app Signal earlier this year. The watchdog's determination states that sharing these specifics could have compromised safety. The report suggests the disclosure might have endangered American service members involved in the operations. CBS News correspondent Charlie D’Agata is following the story for further developments.
