Two days ago, Jeffrey Goldberg, who edits The Atlantic, published a story stating that US national security leaders included him in an encrypted Signal messaging group chat. However, Goldberg did not release specific details regarding the attack itself.
In a new story published Wednesday morning, March 26, headlined "Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on Signal," stunning details involving specific actions of the war plan were revealed.
The Atlantic went on to say the new details were released after the administration had downplayed the importance of the text messages inadvertently sent to The Atlantic’s editor in chief, quoting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who said after the initial Monday, March 24, Atlantic story, “Nobody was texting war plans. And that’s all I have to say about that.”
In addition to Hegseth and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, who inadvertently added Goldberg to the chat, among the others involved were:
- Vice President JD Vance,
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio,
- CIA Director John Ratcliffe,
- National Security Advisor Mike Waltz,
- Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard,
- White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles,
- Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.
A total of 18 people participated in the chat.
The newly released texts include Hegseth mentioning to the group when F-18 fighter jets were launching, and when and where the strikes would land.
Waltz told the group, "The first target – their top missile guy – we had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend’s building and it’s now collapsed.”
The use of the Signal app to discuss war plans may violate the Espionage Act, as classified information was shared on an unclassified system, and could have jeopardized national security, and the lives of military members.
