Democrats Urge Hegseth's Resignation Over Yemen Leak

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing calls for his resignation from top Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, due to allegations of mishandling sensitive military information in a Signal chat that included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg. The chat reportedly disclosed details of a planned military strike against the Houthis in Yemen, and controversy is compounded by accusations that Hegseth brought his wife to sensitive meetings with foreign officials, raising security concerns. Hegseth and the White House have denied sharing classified information, but the leaks have led to intense scrutiny and criticism. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz took responsibility for adding Goldberg to the Signal chat, while defending the Trump administration's national security record. The White House has rejected calls for Hegseth's dismissal, asserting confidence in the current national security team.
