IG finds Hegseth's use of Signal for Houthi strike planning risked harm to US mission and pilots, sources say

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth "created risks to operational security" by sharing sensitive details about Houthi strikes over Signal, a new Pentagon inspector general report determined, according to sources familiar with the report. 

His actions "could have resulted in failed US mission objectives and potential harm to US pilots," one source familiar with the report said. 

Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said of the report: "This Inspector General review is a TOTAL exoneration of Secretary Hegseth and proves what we knew all along - no classified information was shared. This matter is resolved and the case is closed."

A classified version of the report has been handed over to the Senate Armed Services Committee and is available for members of the committee to view. An unclassified, redacted version will be made public on Thursday.
