Pentagon Watchdog: Defense Secretary's Texts Risked Troop Safety

A new Pentagon report concludes that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth may have endangered U.S. service members. An investigation by the Department of Defense Inspector General found he shared sensitive military information in a private text thread. The messages, sent using the encrypted Signal app, contained details about a strike in Yemen. The watchdog determined this action jeopardized classified operational information. The report states that sharing such specifics could compromise security and put troops at risk. The findings were first reported by CBS News correspondent Charlie D'Agata. The Inspector General’s office released its report recently. It did not specify whether the Secretary faced any disciplinary action as a result.
