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.

Menteri Perang Pete Hegseth mengumumkan pengakhiran kebijakan berusia 34 tahun yang menetapkan instalasi militer AS sebagai zona bebas senjata. Dalam pernyataan video pada 2 April 2026, ia menyatakan, “Itu berakhir hari ini,” dan menandatangani memorandum yang mengizinkan anggota militer untuk mengajukan izin membawa senjata api pribadi saat tidak bertugas. Perubahan ini mengesampingkan peraturan senjata api negara bagian dan mengasumsikan bahwa permintaan semacam itu diperlukan untuk perlindungan diri.
