Trump Criticizes Atlantic Following Security Breach Involving Editor

Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, revealed that he was inadvertently included in a group chat on Signal with senior Trump administration officials discussing military operations against Houthi rebels in Yemen. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth defended the incident, dismissing Goldberg's claims and labeling him a 'deceitful' journalist. The chat, which included high-ranking officials like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance, posed questions about the appropriateness of discussing classified information on encrypted messaging platforms. Critics, including lawmakers from both parties, expressed outrage over the breach of protocol and the sharing of sensitive war plans with a journalist. Trump denied any knowledge of the incident and criticized The Atlantic, suggesting the publication was struggling financially. This incident raises significant concerns about information security and communication practices within the government.
