Leaked War Chat: The full list of participants in 'Houthi PC small group' including JD Vance, Pete Hegseth
In a stunning breach of protocol, senior members of the Trump administration planned and executed a military strike on Yemen through a Signal group chat that accidentally included a journalist.
