The revelation that President Donald Trump’s most senior national security officials posted the specifics of a military attack to a chat group that included a journalist hours before the attack took place has raised many questions
Senior Trump officials shared details of a planned Yemen attack on a Signal chat group, including a journalist, raising security concerns. Signal's vulnerability to hacking is known, but the extent of the administration's use of Signal for sensitive communications is unclear. It's also unknown if required archiving of the chat messages occurred. While the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic was in the group, how he was added is uncertain. The classification level of the attack details shared is unknown, though the information risked compromising the operation. Officials debate whether "war plans" were shared, but the specific attack information posted was likely informed by classified intelligence.
