The acting Inspector General for the Pentagon, Steven Stebbins, has announced an investigation into Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth’s use of the signal app to discuss potentially classified information with other members of the US President Donald Trump cabinet last month.

DoD's acting Inspector General Steven Stebbins will review Defense Secretary’s Pete Hegseth’s use of the commercial messaging app Signal to discuss operational details of airstrikes in Yemen. Stebbins said the review will “determine the extent to which the defense secretary and other DoD personnel complied with DoD policies and procedures for the use of a commercial messaging application for official business.

The noise from SignalGate has apparently become too much to ignore. On Thursday, the Defense Department inspector general’s office announced that it will take a look at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of Signal to organize, with other members of the Trump administration, a military operation in Yemen that reportedly killed at least 53 people.

The Defense Inspector General's Office will look into whether the defense secretary improperly shared sensitive information on the commercial app.

The Pentagon inspector general's office said it would evaluate Hegseth's use of Signal to discuss strikes against the Houthis.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of the Signal group chat with other national security officials to discuss plans for airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen will be investigated, the Pentagon’s acting inspector general announced Thursday.

The Pentagon’s internal watchdog notified the defense secretary of a probe into whether he shared classified information last month in a Signal group chat that included a journalist.

The announcement comes after lawmakers voiced concern about whether top national security officials discussed classified information on Signal about a military strike against Houthi rebels in Yemen.
