A big investigation is underway. The focus is on Pete Hegseth, the Defense Secretary. He is under the microscope for some suspicious text messages. These messages were sent through a popular app called Signal. The texts contained sensitive information about military plans. Specifically, they detailed plans to hit targets in Yemen.

The big question is who sent these messages. Was it Hegseth himself? Or did someone else type them out? Investigators are digging deep. They are talking to current and former staff members. The goal is to figure out how classified information ended up on a commercial app.

The details were shared in two different chat groups. One group included high-ranking officials like Vice President JD Vance. The other group was more personal. It included Hegseth's wife and other family members. This raises concerns about who had access to this sensitive information.

The timing of these leaks is also suspicious. It happened around the same time that other sensitive information was shared. This time, it was with the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. The content was similar to what was shared in the Signal chats. This pattern is hard to ignore.

Investigators are also looking into something else. They want to know if anyone was asked to delete these messages. This is a big deal because the government has rules. They must keep all federal communications as official records. Deleting messages could be a violation of these rules.

Hegseth is set to testify soon. Lawmakers will likely grill him about this. They want answers about how he handled classified information. This scandal is far from over. It will be interesting to see how it unfolds.
