The editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, was accidentally included on a messaging chain in which senior members of the Trump administration discussed strikes against the Houthi terror group in Yemen earlier this month in a shocking breach of national security, including Stephen Miller, JD Vance, former Fox personality Pete Hegseth, and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz.
The piece in The Atlantic is titled “The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans.”
The Military Times reports:
Goldberg said he was added to the group on Signal — an open-source, privacy-focused messaging app — earlier this month by someone identifying themself as Michael Waltz, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser.
The conversation — which eventually included messages from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, among others — included “operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing,” according to Goldberg.
