In a significant security lapse, senior Trump administration officials inadvertently added Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, to a Signal group chat discussing classified military operations against Yemen's Houthi rebels. The chat, involving Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, detailed sensitive information such as targets, weapon deployments, and attack sequences. This breach has drawn sharp criticism from lawmakers, with Senator Pat Ryan labeling it "FUBAR" and others calling for investigations into the mishandling of national defense information. The National Security Council has confirmed the authenticity of the messages and is probing how Goldberg was mistakenly included. (PC: Reuters)
