Washington | Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth texted about plans to kill a Houthi militant leader in Yemen two hours before a military operation, which was meant to be shrouded in secrecy, according to screenshots of a chat released by The Atlantic on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT).
The revelation that highly sensitive attack plans were shared on a commercial messaging app, possibly on personal mobile phones, has triggered outrage in Washington and calls from Democrats that members of Trump’s national security team be fired over the leaks.
