White House Denies Classified Material Leaked in Yemen Chat

The White House has confirmed that no classified material was shared in a chat group that included senior Trump administration officials discussing military operations in Yemen, despite an American journalist accidentally being added to the conversation. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated on X that 'no war plans were discussed' and emphasized that sensitive information was not leaked. The chat included top officials such as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, discussing operational strategies against Houthi rebels. An investigation is underway to determine how Jeffrey Goldberg, editor of The Atlantic, was included in the group. The incident highlights significant security lapses within the administration's communication protocols. The White House is facing scrutiny over this unauthorized disclosure of discussions among its national security team.
