House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has called for the immediate resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after reports surfaced that he shared sensitive military plans over an unauthorized messaging app. The leaked information allegedly included details about potential U.S. military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. Jeffries and other top Democrats argue that Hegseth's actions endangered American troops and compromised national security. The controversy has intensified pressure on the Trump administration to address concerns over the handling of classified information. The White House has yet to respond to Jeffries' demand.
