The Trump administration's national security leaders mistakenly involved Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg in a Secret chat on Signal about military operations against the Houthis in Yemen. Goldberg expressed disbelief that such sensitive discussions would occur on a commercial platform, which is not endorsed for government use. Initially suspecting a hoax, he later received confirmation from the National Security Council that the messages were genuine, highlighting the concerning breach in communication protocols among U.S. officials regarding potential military actions.
I could not believe that the national-security leadership of the United States would communicate on Signal about imminent war plans. This is a significant breach.
Goldberg expressed his disbelief at being included in the confidential chat, initially suspecting a scheme by bad actors to infiltrate or misinform.
Notably, commercial tech platforms like Signal are unauthorized for discussing sensitive government communications, raising serious concerns.
The National Security Council confirmed to the Atlantic that the chat involving Goldberg was authentic, solidifying the gravity of the situation.
