It turns out Pete Hegseth shared sensitive military information with a Signal group not once, but twice.
Last month the US defence secretary was embarrassed but not fired when the Atlantic revealed he told fellow cabinet members and other senior Trump administration officials details of forthcoming air strikes on Iran-backed Houthi rebel targets in Yemen.
On Sunday the New York Times reported that he shared similar information on the same attacks with a separate group including his wife, his brother and a personal lawyer. Trump ruled out firing Hegseth the first time, and appears to have done so the second time too.
The president was with Hegseth at yesterday’s White House Easter egg roll and said he was “doing a great job... Ask the Houthis how he’s doing.”
Politico ran an op-ed on Sunday by a former Pentagon spokesman who described the past month at the headquarters of the US armed forces as “total chaos”.
Not for the first time, Trump seems reluctant to have his hand forced by the press.
