Leaked Signal messages that allegedly shared military information bring more ‘bad news' for US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth
Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth (Image credit: AP) The Pentagon's watchdog is investigating whether aides to US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth were asked to delete Signal messages that may have shared sensitive military information with a reporter. This inquiry focuses on how information about the March 15 airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen was disseminated through the messaging app. The investigation comes as Hegseth is scheduled to testify before Congress next week for the first time since his confirmation hearing. He is expected to face questions under oath regarding his handling of sensitive information, as well as broader turmoil within the Pentagon , including recent senior aide departures and an internal probe into information leaks. Previously, Hegseth has faced scrutiny over the installation of an unsecured internet line in his office, which reportedly bypassed Pentagon security protocols. He has also drawn attention for sharing details about the military strikes in multiple Signal chats, including one that inadvertently included The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. Two people familiar with the investigation and documents reviewed by the news agency Associated Press confirmed the probe. The Pentagon investigation is checking whether Hegseth's Signal chats, which included his wife, brother, top national security officials, and, inadvertently, The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, shared sensitive information about upcoming military strikes. Investigators are also probing whether anyone was asked to delete messages and who had access to Hegseth's phone. Critics argue that posting such detailed information before the strikes could have endangered pilots, a move that would typically lead to disciplinary action for lower-ranking military members. What US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said about the 'leaked' Signal messages Hegseth maintains that no classified information was shared, though current and former military officials dispute that claim. In April, following reports about the chat that included his family members, Hegseth said to Fox News Channel: 'I said repeatedly, nobody is texting war plans. I look at war plans every day. What was shared over Signal then and now, however you characterise it, was informal, unclassified communications, for media coordinations and other things. That's what I've said from the beginning.' Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has reaffirmed his support for Hegseth, praising him during a Memorial Day speech despite the ongoing Signal chat controversy. Since the incident, Hegseth has kept a low public profile, avoiding Pentagon press briefings, with his spokesman addressing reporters only once, the AP report claims.

This company founded by PayPal co-creator Peter Thiel may have received a $40 million investment from Jeffrey Epstein
Image credit: Canva A company co-founded by PayPal co-creator Peter Thiel may have received a $40 million investment from Jeffrey Epstein . According to a report by The New York Times (NYT), Epstein made this investment in Valar Ventures, a venture capital firm associated with Thiel. The report claims that Epstein invested a substantial amount in Valar Ventures in 2015 and 2016, not long before he died in 2019. This financial link between Thiel's firm and Epstein had not been publicly disclosed previously. As per a confidential financial analysis of Epstein's estate and a statement from a Valar spokesman seen by the NYT, the $40 million investment is now reportedly worth close to $170 million. Epstein's estate is reportedly benefiting from the returns of this investment. The NYT report sheds light on Thiel's financial ties to Epstein, even as Thiel has publicly discussed Epstein in various contexts, including in relation to other tech figures. Valar Ventures, like other companies associated with Thiel, is named after a creature from J.R.R. Tolkien's mythos. How tech world shared its ties with Jeffrey Epstien During this time, Epstein was reportedly seeking to rehabilitate his reputation following his 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution. The billionaire was known for funnelling money into technology and science ventures, with some speculating that he aimed to reposition himself as a financial manager for the tech elite. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thousands Are Saving Money Using This Wall Plug elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Click Here Undo Several prominent figures in tech, including Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, and Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, have faced questions regarding their connections to Epstein. In 2023, Elon Musk was also subpoenaed in a legal case tied to Epstein. Epstein maintained relationships with many powerful and influential individuals, some of whom were business associates. The latest revelations about Epstein's substantial investment in a Thiel-backed company are particularly ironic, given Thiel's public commentary on Epstein as more of a cultural symbol than someone he knew. Epstein's links to Thiel were first reported in 2023. Realme GT 7 Dream Edition: Unboxing and first look!
