War Plans Leak Reveals The Shocking Incompetence Of The Trump Administration
HuffPost
"We are currently clean on [operational security]," Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote to other officials, along with the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.
New details in the case of top U.S. officials messaging each other about war plans — and accidentally including a journalist in the conversation — reveal the breathtaking incompetence of President Donald Trump’s administration just two months into his new term.
The Atlantic on Wednesday published the full message chain from a Signal group chat that the magazine’s editor-in-chief was inadvertently invited to join earlier this month. The messages, which The Atlantic first reported on Monday, discussed plans for strikes in Yemen, along with other sensitive national security matters.
The conversation gives a glimpse into how lax some of the nation’s top officials were in while discussing those matters.
“We are currently clean on [operational security],” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth texted the group, which included several officials and a number that wasn’t known to him: The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg.
