Signalgate: Hegseth under fire, Pentagon watchdog drops bombshell, 'US troops' lives were at risk'

Описание: The Pentagon’s watchdog found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth put U.S. personnel and their mission at risk when he used the Signal messaging app to convey sensitive information about a military strike against Yemen’s Houthi militants, two people familiar with the findings said Wednesday. Hegseth, however, has the ability to declassify material and the report did not find he did so improperly, according to one of the people familiar with the findings who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the information. The two people also said the Pentagon knew there were survivors after a September attack on an alleged drug-carrying boat in the Caribbean Sea and the U.S. military still carried out a follow-up strike.
