President’s national security team used an encrypted messaging app to talk about a planned strike on Houthi militants — and accidentally included a prominent journalist in their group chat
The Trump administration, led by National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, accidentally included *The Atlantic* editor Jeffrey Goldberg in a Signal group chat outlining plans for a U.S. strike against Houthis in Yemen. The chat, involving top officials like Marco Rubio, JD Vance, and Pete Hegseth, discussed war plans, targets, and timing before the strikes occurred. Goldberg, initially skeptical of the chat's authenticity, reported the incident, raising concerns about security breaches and communication practices within the administration.
