美国官员：国防部长Pete Hegseth正在接受调查，可能面临被替换。Hegseth的办公室解雇了一些助手，并且有消息透露Hegseth在通讯软件Signal上分享了即将在也门进行的空袭的细节。 Quill Lawrence：总统公开支持Hegseth，称对他的指控是假新闻，并认为Hegseth正在清除国防部的不良人员。Hegseth的办公室有四名高级顾问离职，其中一人公开批评国防部的混乱局面。另有三名顾问被解雇，他们指责解雇是不合理的，并否认泄露信息。这三名顾问是Hegseth的长期同事。白宫似乎支持Hegseth，但他被证实曾通过Signal分享即将进行的袭击的细节。Hegseth使用Signal与妻子和其他人分享了关于即将发生的袭击的行动情报，这违反了国防部的政策，并可能危及美国安全。Hegseth的行为违反了军队关于承担责任的规定。
