Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat

[Vambram]

There were four of them in the NYTimes, and named sources in the Politico piece. If you think these are the only times this happened, then I Mexico really will pay for that wall. As the Politico article notes, there are more shoes to drop regarding bigger matters.

That NY Times article uses only anonymous sources. The politico article that I read is from a Trump supporter. Only God Himself knows for certain how this will all play out in the future.

If it's in The Onion, it must be true.

I'm glad the Onion is still around. I was beginning to think it had become redundant.

YEMEN (The Borowitz Report)—In what they called an effort to “stay in the loop,” Houthi rebels disclosed on Tuesday that they had sent a friend request to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s wife.​

Info Hegseth shared with wife and brother came from top general's secure messages​

Hegseth has denied the information he shared was classified, but it was given to him on a system for sensitive and classified information, sources told NBC News.

WASHINGTON — Minutes before U.S. fighter jets took off to begin strikes against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen last month, Army Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, who leads U.S. Central Command, used a secure U.S. government system to send detailed information about the operation to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

The material Kurilla sent included details about when U.S. fighters would take off and when they would hit their targets — details that could, if they fell into the wrong hands, put the pilots of those fighters in grave danger. But he was doing exactly what he was supposed to: providing Hegseth, his superior, with information he needed to know and using a system specifically designed to safely transmit sensitive and classified information.

But then Hegseth used his personal phone to send some of the same information Kurilla had given him to at least two group text chats on the Signal messaging app, three U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the exchanges told NBC News.
