Journalist Accidentally Added to Secret US Government Chat on Yemen Airstrikes

The Trump administration faces scrutiny as a major security breach involving the use of Signal for classified discussions prompts an internal investigation.

Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of 'The Atlantic,' was mistakenly added to a Signal chat discussing US military plans against the Houthi militia in Yemen.
The chat included high-ranking officials such as Vice President J.D. Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who shared precise details of the March 15 airstrikes.
The National Security Council confirmed the authenticity of the chat and announced an internal investigation into the breach.
The use of Signal, a platform not sanctioned for classified communications, raises concerns about systemic lapses in information security.
The incident has sparked criticism of the Trump administration's handling of sensitive information and its implications for US foreign policy and national security.
