Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh. The Pentagon's top independent watchdog has released its findings on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's use of signal to communicate sensitive operational details. The report concludes that Hegseth violated Pentagon policies. It states that, quote, the secretary sent non public DoD information identifying the quantity and strike times of manned US aircraft over hostile territory over an unapproved unsecure network approximately two to four hours before the execution of those strikes. The report goes on to say, quote, using a personal cell phone to conduct official business and send non public DoD information through signal risks potential comprom of sensitive DoD information which could cause harm to DoD personnel and mission objectives, end quote. NPR's Greg Myhrey has more on who was on that signal chat.

He was in contact with essentially all top national security officials, the CIA director, director of national intelligence, the national security adviser, the secretary of state. And as we noted, what none of them knew was that Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of the Atlantic, was inadvertently included and was reading the messages as well.

NPR's Greg Myhre. We should note NPR CEO Kathryn Marr chairs the board of the Signal Foundation. After a five year investigation into who put pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican committee headquarters hours before the insurrection at the US Capitol, the FBI believes it has its man. Three sources familiar with the matter confirmed to NPR that agents made an arrest. One of the sources says the suspect was picked up in the Washington, D.C. suburb of Woodbridge, Virginia. A powerful advisory committee at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention convenes a two day meeting today to consider controversial changes to how doctors vaccinate children against dangerous infectious diseases.

The CDC advisers will consider dropping a recommendation that all babies routinely get vaccinated against hepatitis B at birth. Proponents of making the change argue the shots should be delayed because the virus spreads through sex and drug use. But most experts say babies can catch the virus in other ways, increasing the risk for liver disease failure and cancer. The committee will also discuss changing how pediatricians inoculate children against more than a dozen other infectious diseases, including measles, whooping cough and polio. Most public health experts say any changes are unnecessary and would be dangerous. Rob Stein, NPR News.
