Both U.S. senators and two members of Congress from Illinois on Wednesday lambasted the Trump administration, and in particular Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, over a group chat on the encrypted messaging app Signal that included sensitive details about military strikes in Yemen.

Donald Trump's White House is telling Americans to reject the evidence of their own eyes and ears about the Signal group chat controversy, critics say, as The Atlantic has published the entire chat thread--including a key portion from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth with specific detail of the military operations leading up to and during the bombing of the Houthis in Yemen.
