A Pentagon inspector general review found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth violated Defense Department policy by using the Signal messaging app on his personal phone to share sensitive details of planned U.S. airstrikes in Yemen. The report concludes that, had the information been intercepted, it could have endangered U.S. servicemembers and the mission, while noting that Hegseth had the authority to declassify the material. The findings were provided to Congress this week and a redacted version is expected to be released publicly within days.
Saturday Night Live nahm in seinem Eröffnungssketch den designierten Verteidigungsminister Pete Hegseth und FBI-Direktor Kash Patel mit scharfen Witzen über ihre angeblichen Trinkgewohnheiten aufs Korn. Komiker Colin Jost stellte Hegseth dar, wie er ein großes Glas Scotch hielt, während Aziz Ansari die Rolle des Patel übernahm. Der Beitrag enthielt bissige Satire über das öffentliche Auftreten der beiden.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the end of a 34-year policy designating US military installations as gun-free zones. In a video statement on April 2, 2026, he declared, “That ends today,” and signed a memorandum allowing service members to request permission to carry personal firearms off duty. The change overrides state firearm regulations and presumes such requests are necessary for personal protection.
