???? Defense Secretary shared an operational plan in a "Houthi chat group" built by the National Security Advisor, and simultaneously forwarded it to another group chat using a commercial app on his personal phone. The recipients included his wife, brother, lawyer, and more than ten others, with no relation to "US military operations in Yemen."
