Trump Hosts $1 Million Dinner Amid Yemen Bombing Controversy

On March 15, the same day the U.S. bombed Houthi positions in Yemen, resulting in at least 53 deaths, members of the Trump administration attended a secret fundraising dinner at Mar-a-Lago, reportedly charging $1 million per seat. This dinner featured prominent officials including President Trump, Elon Musk, National Security Adviser Michael Waltz, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The Signal group chat, which inadvertently included Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg, discussed sensitive military operations, leading to a major security breach. Following the bombing, members of the chat celebrated their actions, with messages of congratulations exchanged among officials. Despite the backlash over the leaked details, Trump defended Waltz, stating that the incident was not serious. The administration faces scrutiny over their handling of sensitive information and national security protocols.
