Overview

• Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was inadvertently included in a Signal chat with senior Trump officials discussing airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen.
• The White House confirmed the authenticity of the chat but denied that classified information or 'war plans' were shared, calling the incident a 'glitch.'
• President Trump defended National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and dismissed the breach as a minor error, while investigations into the security lapse continue.
• Bipartisan criticism has emerged, with Democrats demanding resignations and Republicans raising concerns about the use of non-secure communication channels.
• The controversy has drawn attention to broader issues of national security and protocol, despite the successful execution of the Yemen strikes.
