Donald Trump is “starting to cool” on Pete Hegseth after the defense secretary was hit by a spate of national security scandals, it is claimed.
After texting sensitive war plans involving a wave of U.S. air strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen to a Signal chat last month, The New York Times revealed last week that Hegseth allegedly shared details of military strikes in a second group on the messaging app, which included his wife, his attorney and his brother. Sources told the Associated Press last week that he did so on his personal computer via an insecure internet connection in his office.
