A person familiar with the case, which spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that the second chat contained a dozen people and was created during his confirming process in order to discuss administrative problems, not detailed military planning.
The person said the chat contained detailed information about the raid schedule.

Trump's administration aggressively sought leaks, which was enthusiastically received by HegeSeth in the Pentagon.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said without evidence that the media “enthusiastically accepted complaints from dissatisfied former employees for the only sources of their article.”
“Trump's hate media are still obsessed with the destruction of everyone involved in the program of President Trump. … We have already achieved so much for the American war and they will never withdraw,” said Parnell in a statement about X.
A spokesman for the White House, Anna Kelly, said that “recently released” leaks “still mislead the truth to calm their broken ego and undermine the president's program.
Tumultous moment for HegeSeth
Democratic legislators said HegeSeth could no longer stay in his work.
“We are constantly learning how Pete HegeSth exposes his life,” said the leader of the minority of the Senate Chuck Schumer in post X. “But Trump is still too weak to slow down. Pete HegeSeth must be released.”
Senator Tammy Duckworth, a veteran of the war in Iraq, who suffered serious injuries in 2004, said HegeSeth “must give up disgrace.”
