White House Confirms Major Security Breach Involving Journalist in Military Planning

Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic was mistakenly added to a confidential Signal group, receiving classified details of U.S. airstrikes in Yemen.

The White House has verified that journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently included in a Signal group discussing the March 15 airstrikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen.
Goldberg received detailed plans, including weapons, targets, and timing, two hours before the strikes were executed, which reportedly caused significant casualties.
The Signal group comprised 18 high-ranking officials, including Vice President J.D. Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
Internal disagreements within the group were revealed, with Vice President Vance opposing the strikes, arguing they disproportionately benefited Europe over the U.S.
Democratic leaders have called for a full investigation into the breach, labeling it a severe operational failure, while Donald Trump denied prior knowledge but praised the strike's effectiveness.
