Signal Scandal 2.0: Did US Defence chief Pete Hegseth leak Yemen war strike plans again in a family group chat?

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing renewed scrutiny after revelations he shared sensitive military strike details with his wife, brother, and personal lawyer via a private Signal chat. The incident, uncovered by The New York Times, follows a previous leak involving another Signal group that mistakenly included a journalist. As internal investigations deepen, senior Pentagon staff have resigned or been placed on leave. Hegseth denies wrongdoing, but questions about his judgment and handling of classified information are mounting.
