Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed details in the chat including the times of strikes on Iran-backed Houthi rebels and the type of aircraft, missiles and drones used, before the attacks actually happened, the Atlantic said. 

After Trump announced new tariffs on foreign-made cars, he addressed media when he was asked about Hegseth, and whether he should consider his position over the scandal. Trump replied, "Hegseth is doing a great job, he had nothing to do with this. How do you bring Hegseth into this? Look, look it's all a witch hunt."
