The Atlantic published a full transcript of a text exchange where the administration's top national security officials discussed planned U.S. airstrikes in Yemen .

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth , according to the magazine, shared the precise timing of planned fighter jet and drone launches, when bombs would hit their targets.

But four former national security and intelligence officials who handled legal matters told NBC News that information about an upcoming military attack on an adversary — including types of weapons and the timing of airstrikes — is considered classified.

Crow noted that the Houthis have advanced air-defense systems and that they have used to shoot down multiple U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones, one of the weapons employed in the strikes in Yemen . He said it was outrageous that the administration was not accepting responsibility for its actions. “It is a leadership failure, and that’s why Secretary Hegseth , who undoubtedly transmitted classified sensitive operational information via this chain, must resign immediately,” Crow said.
