WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth put U.S. troops at risk by sharing sensitive plans about an upcoming military strike in Yemen on his personal phone, according to a Pentagon inspector general’s report made public Thursday that criticized the use of unapproved messaging apps and devices across the Defense Department.

An Oregon senator called for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ’s resignation or removal Thursday after a Pentagon report concluded Hegseth put U.S. troops at risk by sharing plans about an impending military strike via a messaging app on his personal phone.

A forthcoming inspector general report finds that had intel shared by Hegseth been intercepted by an adversary, it would have endangered servicemembers, according to a source who viewed the findings.

The Pentagon watchdog recently completed its report on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's use of Signal to share details about operations in Yemen.

Secrecy experts weigh in on the Pentagon's claim that IG report exonerated Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in the Signal chat controversy.

GOP frustration with Trump’s defense secretary has intensified, with some lawmakers questioning their confidence in him as key committees pursue an aggressive oversight campaign.

Hegseth has defended the second strike as emerging in the “fog of war,” saying during a Cabinet meeting this week at the White House that he didn’t see any survivors but also “didn’t stick around” for the rest of the mission.

Hegseth’s remarks echo the video posted on social media last month by Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Arizona) and five fellow Democratic lawmakers who are also military or national security agency
