Quote
Senior national security officials coordinated airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen earlier this month using an unsecure group chat which accidentally included the top editor of The Atlantic, a move that appears to have broken a host of federal laws and protocols.

In a story released Monday titled “The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans,” Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg said he was added to the group on Signal — an open-source, privacy-focused messaging app — earlier this month by someone identifying themself as Michael Waltz, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser.

The conversation — which eventually included messages from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, among others — included “operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing,” according to Goldberg.

Very strange story. Is this a case of monumental stupidity or extremely clever 3-D chess, though?

This is likely a BS story. The Atlantic is reporting the WH confirmed the leak. But the Atlantic is who wrote the peice and was the supposed recipient of the leak. Makes no sense

With the amount of hostility toward Trump still extant in the Deep State, to the point of irrationality, would treason be far behind?

Trump officials accidentally text Atlantic journalist about military strikes in apparent security breach
National Security Council spokesperson: 'We are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain'
By David Rutz Fox News
Published March 24, 2025 4:45pm EDT

The Atlantic's editor-in-chief was inadvertently included on a messaging chain of senior Trump officials that discussed plans for a forthcoming strike on the Houthis in Yemen.

Jeffrey Goldberg penned a first-person account of getting a connection request from what appeared to be Trump's National Security Advisor Michael Waltz on March 11 on Signal, a popular encrypted messaging service used by journalists and government officials. He accepted and was then added to a chat group called "Houthi PC Small Group," where he proceeded to see a series of top Trump officials discuss what turned out to be an upcoming attack on the Houthis, in what critics are calling a massive breach of national security.

Goldberg laid out how 18 members were listed in the group, including Waltz, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. What ensued in the following days was a discussion about attacking the Houthis, an Iran-backed terrorist group that's wreaked havoc on ships in the Red Sea and disrupted traffic through the critical Suez Canal.

The principals in the chat raised various concerns about the timing of the strikes, whether it was prudent to wait, and the security of the operation. Vance's account expressed skepticism about the attack, saying at one point he thought it was a mistake, and at another saying, "I just hate bailing Europe out again," alluding to European trade having far more skin in the game with the Suez Canal than the United States.

Seems Mike Waltz did a good job “accidentally” inviting Jeffrey Goldberg into the secret Signal chat. As intended.

Reading these (if real) messages - and the concise/compact expression of various lines of Trump Admin messaging esp to serially delinquent Europeans - why is this being assumed to be an accident?

‘They Had WHAT?’ Trump Seemingly Learns About Massive Security Breach During Press Conference
Kipp JonesMar 24th, 2025, 4:15 pm

President Donald Trump said he knew nothing of members of his administration discussing sensitive war plans in a group text that errantly included Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic when asked about the bombshell report on Monday.

Goldberg, the outlet’s editor-in-chief, reported Monday he was looped into a Signal group earlier this month wherein multiple top Trump administration officials discussed bombing Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

Those people apparently included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Vice President JD Vance. Goldberg said he was added to the group after an invitation from Trump National Security Advisor Mike Waltz on Signal, an encrypted messaging cell phone app.

The report sent shockwaves across Washington. When Trump was asked about it Monday afternoon by a pool reporter, he said he knew nothing of the report:

    REPORTER: Mr. President, your reaction to the story, The Atlantic, that said that some of your top cabinet officials and aides have been discussing very sensitive material through Signal and included an Atlantic reporter for that. What is your response to that and are you going to take it –

    TRUMP: I don’t know anything about it. I’m not a big fan of The Atlantic. To me, it’s a magazine that’s going out of business. I think it’s not much of a magazine, but I know nothing about it. You’re saying that they had what?

    REPORTER: They were using Signal to coordinate on sensitive materials, and –

    TRUMP: Having to do with what? Having to do with what? What were they talking about?

    REPORTER: The Houthis.

    TRUMP: With the Houthis. You mean the attack on the Houthis? Well, it couldn’t have been very effective because the attack was very effective, I can tell you that. I don’t know anything about it. You’re telling me about it for the first time?

In my 30 years of experience working with the Intelligence Community, I have never before seen such horrifying incompetence in the securing of our nation’s intelligence.

How dare they put our Troops at risk with this cavalier behavior. There must be accountability.

He actually issued a "non-denial/denial" and attacked the credibility of Goldberg and The Atlantic.

Meanwhile, the truth (probably) comes out:
