Trump Officials Face Scrutiny Over Yemen War Plans Breach

A significant security breach within the Trump administration occurred when journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally added to a Signal chat discussing classified military plans regarding Yemen. The inclusion of Goldberg in a conversation involving top officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, raised concerns about the handling of sensitive information and the potential erosion of trust among U.S. allies. Senator Mark Warner emphasized that such lapses undermine national security and called for an investigation into the incident, which he described as 'dangerous.' In response, President Trump defended his team, asserting no classified information was shared, while officials like CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed the communications were lawful. Lawmakers are set to question intelligence officials about the breach, as it has triggered outrage among Democrats and national security experts. The incident highlights the risks associated with using commercial messaging platforms for sensitive discussions.
