Hegseth used second Signal chat to share details of Yemen strike, report says

Defense Minister Beit Higseth shared details of a military air strike in March against Iran -backed Houthis in Yemen in a conversation of another reference message that included his wife and brother, according to a report.

The New York Times reported for the first time the revelation of the second reference chat that surrounds the military strike on Sunday. These same attack plans were also shared in another conversation with Top Trump administration leaders and did not appear until last month because Jeffrey Goldberg, The Atlantic Editor, was mistakenly added to the group.

The Pentagon retreated to the story, and the White House press secretary “Fox & Friends” was that president Donald Trump was standing next to Higseth.

Former and current officials said that the second chat had the same time launching times the war of war that was included in the first chat, operating details, if it was common before the strike had been exposed to the pilots.

Four people told the second chat to the newspaper that the wife of Higseth, Jennifer, a former Fox news producer, his brother Phil and his personal lawyer, Tim Parteror, had been included in the chat.

NSA Mike Waltz takes responsibility for the signal chat

Jennifer Higseth is not an employee of the Ministry of Defense, although she traveled with her husband abroad to attend meetings with foreign leaders. Phil HegSeth and Parlore works by the Pentagon. It is not clear why any of them will need to inform any upcoming military strikes.

The second chat included 13 people, and he told a person familiar with the matter that the Associated Press provided that his identity was not disclosed. They also emphasized that the chat was called “Defense” Team Hudde.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell rejected the reports as “another old story – from the dead.”

“The media that hates Trump is still obsessed with the destruction of anyone committed to President Trump’s business schedule,” said Barnell. “This time, the New York Times – and all other fake news that repeats garbage – takes the enthusiasm of the former employees who are disturbed as the only sources of their article.”

The Pentagon axis claims that their personality was “wet,” a few details were shared about the leakage investigation

Bernil claimed that the Times sources were people who were launched from the Pentagon last week “they seem to have a motive to sabotage the Secretary and the president’s work schedule.”

Bernil claimed that there is no secret information in any sign chat, a response confirmed by HegSeth regarding the first chat.

The White House rejected late Sunday, the report was “non -story”, indicating that the Pentagon’s disinfected employees were publishing false claims.

“Regardless of the number of times Legacy Media tries to revive a soul other than the Kasbah, they cannot change the fact that no secret information has been shared,” said Anna Kelly, a member of the White House. “The” labels “recently presented continue to distort the truth to calm their broken vanity and undermine the president’s agenda, but the administration will continue to hold them accountable.

The Pentagon Week of power struggles: leakage and screams

Former Pentagon spokesman John Ullenth, who announced that he was resigning last week unrelated to leaks, formulated an article in Politico on Sunday, which was described in detailing what he called “the month of hell” inside the agency.

“President Donald Trump has a strong record in the account of his senior officials. Given, it is difficult to see Defense Minister Beit Higseth in his role for a longer period,” he wrote.

He wrote that “the building is in a state of chaos under the leadership of Higseth” after the Minister of Defense followed “the advice of splendor in crises from the new public affairs team” with regard to the first chat for the reference.

Ullewits wrote that Trump “deserves better than his supreme leadership.”

The first chat, created by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, included many members of the Council of Ministers. The contents of this chat, published by the Atlantic Ocean, show that Higseth is listed in arms systems and a timetable for the Houthi -supported Houthis in Yemen last month.
