Trump National Security Adviser Mike Waltz accidentally included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg in a sensitive group chat concerning military strategies against Houthi rebels in Yemen. The incident began when Goldberg received a Signal connection request, which he initially doubted was from the real Waltz. After accepting the request, he was added to a chat designating coordination on Houthi operations. This mistake highlights concerns over privacy and communication security within governmental operations, especially amid sensitive geopolitical discussions.
It was called the Houthi PC small group. A message to the group, from Michael Waltz, read as follows: Team establishing a principles group for coordination on Houthis.
I accepted the connection request, hoping that this was the actual national security adviser, and that he wanted to chat about Ukraine or Iran.
