Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is under scrutiny after reportedly sharing sensitive U.S. military plans in yet another Signal group chat that included his wife and brother.

Hegseth faced intense questioning over reports that he disclosed sensitive military details drawn from a top general's secure messages about U.S. strikes in Yemen. Despite criticism, Hegseth remains defiant, insisting the chats were informal, unclassified, and part of routine media coordination.

"Absolutely. The president and we are going to continue fighting on the same page all the way," Hegseth said.

However, the timing raised concerns. The intelligence was shared just minutes before U.S. jets launched strikes, a move critics argue could have jeopardized lives. President Trump defended Hegseth, calling him "great" and dismissing speculation of a potential replacement, even as some administration officials reportedly view it as a serious misstep.

The Justice Department is now investigating the leak, with Hegseth pledging prosecution for those responsible. Amid national security concerns, critics question how secure the chain of command can be if Signal is involved.
