Top officials from the Trump administration reportedly used the messaging app Signal for discussing military plans against Yemen's Houthi rebels and inadvertently added journalist Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat. This incident has raised concerns among Democratic lawmakers and some Republicans, leading to demands for a congressional investigation into a potential security breach. While U.S. law states that mishandling classified information is an offense, it remains uncertain if legal violations occurred in this specific situation. Signal is known for its end-to-end encryption and privacy features, further complicating the issue of information handling in this context.
Democratic lawmakers are calling for a congressional investigation following a significant security breach where a journalist was mistakenly added to an encrypted chat involving U.S. war plans.
Under U.S. law, mishandling classified information can be a crime, though it remains unclear if such violations occurred in this incident with Signal.
