Washington: The Secretary of Defense of the United States, Pete Hegesh, has shared once more information about the next air attacks in the US He New York Times.
AFP could not independently verify the Times‘Report, which detailed what would be the second time that Hegseth has been accused of sharing confidential military information about the application of commercial messaging with unauthorized personnel.
Last month, The Atlantic The magazine revealed that its chief editor was unadverted in a signal chat in which the officials, including Hegseth and the national security advisor, Mike Waltz, discussed the strikes, which took place on March 15.
The revelation caused an uproar, with the administration of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, facing a scandal on the accidental escape. The probe of an inspector general of the Pentagon about that leak is ongoing.
On Sunday, El Times reported that Hegseth had shared information about March 15.
The shared information “included flight schedules for Hornets F/A-18 aimed at the hutis in Yemen,” said the newspaper.
The departure said that, unlike the accidental filtration where journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was included by error in the group, this group chat was created by Hegseth. The other chat was started by Waltz.
“He included his wife and approximately a dozen other people from his personal and professional internal circle in January, before his confirmation as Secretary of Defense,” “El” El ” Times‘He reported, citing unidentified sources.
Hegesh’s wife, Jennifer, is a journalist and former Fox News producer. The group also included its brothers Phil and Tim Parlatore, who serve in roles in the Pentagon.
Parlatore also continues to serve as Hegseth’s personal lawyer, The Times reported.
The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a AFP Request for comments.
‘Slander, Foundation attacks’
Trump greatly held the guilt of the previous filtration in Waltz, but has ruled out the calls to fire the senior officials and insisted on what he called the success of the raids in the Yemeni rebels.
This week, three senior Pentagon officials were licensed waiting for investigations on leaks not specified in the Department of Defense.
The Deputy Director of Cabinet Darin Selnick, the main advisor Dan Caldwell and Colin Carroll responded on Sunday, launching a statement saying that the Pentagon officials had “slandered our character with attacks without foundation.”
“At this time, they have not yet told us exactly what they investigated, if there is still an active investigation, or if there was even a real investigation of ‘leaks’ to begin with,” they said in a joint statement published on social networks.
“While this experience has been excessive, we continue to support the mission of the Trump-Vance administration to make the Pentagon great again and achieve peace through force.”
