Pete Hegseth, White House SLAM legacy media for ‘peddling lies’ after reports on second Signal chat

By Hannah Nightingale | The Post Millennial Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth hit back at reporting released on Sunday that claimed he discussed detailed information about forthcoming strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in a second Signal chat.
