The US Secretary of Defense Pitt Hegshethwho had been charged last month for a breach of security rules, also shared information on a blow to the Yemen with another group of discussion in platform SignalMonday US media reports.

The Pentagon is conducting an internal investigation against Hegschez, a former presenter of the Fox News television network, because on March 15 he shared sensitive information through Signal, in a conversation with a journalist who appears to have been invited to the debate group.

According to them New York Times and CNNHegschez participated in another group on another group on the Signal platform the same day, involving his wife, his brother, his lawyer, “as well as a dozen other persons of his staff and professional environment.”

The big New York newspaper, which cites “four people who know about this conversation”, explains that the defense minister revealed on this occasion during the precise hours of plane -by -plane flights that were to hit the Houthi guerrillas in Yemen.

The newspaper clarifies that the wife of the minister, a journalist and also a former FOX News worker, is not working at the Pentagon, while his brother and lawyer Hegschez have taken up positions in the ministry.

“But it is not clear why either one or the other had to be informed of upcoming strikes against Houthi in Yemen,” the New York Times writes.

According to the newspaper, Pentagon employees had warned the minister a few days earlier that he should not discuss information about the blows in Yemen through Signal, a platform of encrypted messages, but is considered less safe than the official channels used for the sensitive data.

Reacting to this information, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell accused the New York Times of being a “mediating medium that hates Trump”.

“There has been no classified information in discussions in Signal, whatever the ways they are trying to write the story,” he said without giving further details.

Also yesterday, Sunday, a former Hegschez spokesman in the Pentagon, John Eliot published a poisonous opinion article describing “a month of full chaos in the Pentagon”.

“President Donald Trump has the habit of asking his senior officials account. With this in mind, it is difficult to defense Pitt Hegsez difficult to stay in his position for a long time, “Eliot wrote.

The opposition Democrats did not take long to react. Jack Reed, a member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, asked Pentagon’s Inspector General to include the latest allegations in his investigation.

“If this episode proves, this is another worrying example of a reckless contempt from Minister Hegschez of the laws and protocols that are obliged to respect all other army members,” he said in a statement.

In the first “Signalgate”, President Donald Trump had defended his ministers involved in the conversation with journalist Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic.

Mike Walts, a national security adviser, had taken over the “responsibility” explaining that he had set up the team in Signal.

According to the NYTs, the other group was created by Hegschet himself before he assumed the duties of minister.

Three high -ranking Pentagon officials were also terminated last week after unspecified leaks.

These officials – Deputy Officer Darin Sennik and advisers Dan Caldwell and Colin Carol – responded yesterday, publishing a statement accusing the minister of “defaming them with unfounded attacks”.

“Until now, we are still not told why exactly a search is being carried out against us, if an investigation is being carried out and if there was even a leak investigation,” they wrote on social media.
