Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he shared “informal, unclassified coordinations” on Signal “then and now,” all but confirming a new report saying he participated in a second group chat in which he allegedly shared sensitive information about the U.S. military’s attack plans in Yemen.

Hegseth on Tuesday repeated the defense he used in the wake of a previous report last month about a Signal leak to Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg: “No one’s texting war plans,” he said during a Fox News interview, insisting the chats were used “for media coordination and other things” and blaming internal “leakers” for the damning stories.

Hegseth gave a similar denial Monday when asked about the Sunday New York Times report citing four unnamed sources who said he shared the military plans with his brother, personal lawyer and wife in a second Signal group chat the same day the information was leaked to Goldberg.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
