A major security lapse in the Trump administration has come to light after The Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, was inadvertently added to a Signal group chat discussing an impending U.S. military strike in Yemen. The chat, involving senior officials including Vice-President JD Vance, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, debated operational details and policy implications.
National security experts have condemned the use of an unsecure platform for classified discussions, with Democratic lawmakers demanding investigations and Republican Congressman Don Bacon calling it “unconscionable.” Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson downplayed the incident, asserting the White House had “admitted its error.”
Adding to the controversy, VP Vance privately opposed the strike, warning of potential economic repercussions—exposing internal divisions. As speculation swirls over high-level resignations, Hillary Clinton weighed in on social media with a pointed response: “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
