Trump Administration's Secret War Plans Accidentally Leaked to Journalist

In a significant security breach, senior officials of the Trump administration accidentally included Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, in a Signal group chat discussing imminent military strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen. The chat, which featured messages from Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, detailed plans for the strikes set to occur on March 14, leading to the deaths of 53 people. Trump denied any knowledge of the incident, criticizing The Atlantic and asserting that the strikes were effective regardless of the leaked information. Vance expressed concerns about the timing of the attack and its potential implications for public perception, but ultimately supported the decision to proceed. The National Security Council confirmed the authenticity of the messages and is reviewing how Goldberg was mistakenly added to the chat. This incident highlights the complexities and risks associated with communication within high-level security discussions.
