Surprise from the US / Senior Trump officials mistakenly invite journalist to
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth

 

Senior officials in Donald Trump's administration are accused of mistakenly revealing secret US attack plans to a senior journalist, whom they unwittingly included in their discussion group.

According to Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, he was mistakenly invited to a group on the Signal app where senior American officials were discussing.

The group included 18 people, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, national security adviser Michael Waltz, and national security adviser Stephen Miller.

Goldberg said he initially thought they were people posing as American officials and it was all a joke. But he was shocked to see that the orders given to attack Houthi rebels in their group actually started happening.

" I would never have seen a violation like this ," he wrote in an article for the magazine published Monday.

The conversation contained active discussions about US military operations in Yemen, including detailed plans for weapons, timing, and targets.

At first, the journalist thought it was a joke, but just a few hours later, the US actually began attacks on Yemen.

Mike Waltz is President Donald Trump's national security adviser. A minute after user "Michael Waltz" sent the message, a Signal user identified as "MAR" wrote, "Mike Needham for the State." Trump's Secretary of State is Marco Antonio Rubio.

Another user identified as “JD Vance” asked who “VP” would represent, and a minute later, someone with the initials “TG” wrote, “Joe Kent for [Director of National Intelligence].” Trump’s DNI is former Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard.

Shortly after, a Signal user identified as "Pete Hegseth," Trump's defense secretary, wrote that someone named Dan Caldwell would be at "DoD," referring to the Pentagon.

Several other users also responded with the names of people who would represent the Treasury Secretary, the National Security Council, and the CIA.

Goldberg wrote that he was deeply skeptical at first that the group chat was legitimate, because he couldn't fathom that top U.S. national security officials, cabinet secretaries, and the vice president would be so reckless as to accidentally include a journalist in the message chain.

The officials discussed specific plans being drawn up to bomb Houthi targets in Yemen over the next two days, arguing for and against carrying out the strikes. The user identified as Vice President Vance, in particular, deviated from Trump’s position on the strikes and said he thought the administration was “making a mistake.”
