Hegseth Signal messages came from email classified ‘SECRET,’ watchdog told
UNITED STATES, JUL 23 – Pentagon Inspector General confirmed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared classified U.S. military strike plans on Signal, contradicting prior administration denials during ongoing investigation.
- The Pentagon's inspector general obtained evidence that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared military strike plans on Signal in March, which included information taken from a classified email marked SECRET//NOFORN.
- The classified email originated from Gen. Michael Kurilla, the top commander overseeing US Central Command, and was marked SECRET to indicate its sensitive nature excluding foreign nationals.
- The shared information detailed timing and operational plans for attacks on Houthi rebels in Yemen, posted in unclassified group chats that included multiple administration officials and at least one journalist.
- Despite indications to the contrary, Pentagon representatives including Sean Parnell and Hegseth maintained that no classified information was exchanged and emphasized that operational details were not shared via text, underscoring the mission’s success.
- The incident prompted a formal review launched in April into Hegseth’s use of Signal, calls for accountability, and raised concerns about operational security and information handling.
