Defense Secretary Hegseth shared Yemen airstrike details in second Signal chat with his wife and brother

Quick Summary:

The White House late Sunday dismissed the report as a "non-story," suggesting that disgruntled former Pentagon employees were spreading false claims.

The National Security Council and a Pentagon spokesperson did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment about the additional chat group.

The contents of that chat, which The Atlantic published, shows that Hegseth listed weapons systems and a timeline for the attack on Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen last month.
