Top-Secret White House Chat Breach Sparks Outrage and Tensions
On Monday, The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg revealed he was mistakenly added to a top-secret White House Signal chat discussing military plans for a strike on Yemen. The chat, meant for 18 senior officials, included Vice President JC Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and CIA Director Tulsi Gabbard. Sensitive details, like targets and attack sequences, were shared.
Goldberg’s inclusion led to a quick response from Hegseth, who criticized Goldberg’s credibility and denied leaking war plans. Goldberg, however, stood by his account. The breach raised serious concerns among lawmakers and security experts, with Senator Jack Reed calling it “stunning and dangerous.”
This incident has sparked debate on security lapses within the White House and military leadership, leaving questions about accountability.
