Revelations comes amid turmoil at Pentagon
WASHINGTON, April 20 (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared details of a March attack on Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis in a message group that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Sunday.
