Overview

• Mike Waltz accidentally added journalist Jeffrey Goldberg to a Signal chat discussing a U.S. military strike in Yemen, exposing sensitive operational details.
• The breach occurred after Waltz mistakenly saved Goldberg's contact under a different name, believing he was adding former Trump spokesperson Brian Hughes to the group.
• The chat included high-ranking officials, such as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and CIA Director Tulsi Gabbard, and coincided with actual military strikes in Yemen.
• Despite bipartisan criticism and calls for accountability, no high-level resignations have occurred, and President Trump has defended his officials.
• Ongoing investigations and a court order to preserve Signal messages continue as scrutiny intensifies over the administration's cybersecurity practices and use of insecure platforms.
