Trump officials leaked a military strike in a Signal group chat

The addition to the wrong group chat represents a common problem, but what if the collective chat describes an upcoming military strike? This is what happened Atlantic Ocean Editor -in -chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who was added to the chat group chat formed by high -ranking members of the Trump administration to discuss military strikes plans on Yemen. As a result, he had the details of an attack attack targeting the Houthis hours before it was already on March 15, and later confirmed the facts not only through the attacks that kick off on the specified date but in comments from the spokesman for the National Security Council, Brian Hughes, who said they were “reviewing how an unintended number was added to the series.”

It seems that the 18 chat members – called “The Small Houthi PC Group” – included Vice president JD Vance, Defense Minister Pete HegSeth, and the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, all of whom speak freely with Atlantic OceanThe editor -in -chief he listens to. Goldberg says he is not sure how to add it or how no one in the thread has noticed his existence. Military plans, which are generally classified on consumer correspondence applications, are supposed to be discussed.

Referring to the end aims to keep the messages safe from intrusion by the external parties, but if a person’s device is at risk or if the person wrongly on the other side of the conversation, their safety features come out of the window. According to Goldberg National Security Attorney, the application was not approved to share classified information, and the chat was never created in the first place. By discussing military activity on unacceptable devices outside safe facilities, they created the possibility of losing or stealing one of their devices, with all information displayed.

After reporting the explosions in Yemen, the members of the group exchanged the festive symbols – a flexible biceps muscle, an American flag, and a fist. Goldberg Vans witnessed, “I am not sure that the president is aware of the extent of this with his message in Europe now,” Goldberg Vans said. “The president and the vice president conducted later talks on this and fully compatible.”

When asked about the report and chat during a press conference on Monday, Trump said: “I don’t know anything about it. You – you are telling me that for the first time.”
