US Officials Accidentally Leak Top-Secret Yemen War Plans to Journalist
ai generated text
A major security breach exposed senior Trump administration officials using Signal to discuss bombing Houthi targets in Yemen. The chat, containing sensitive military details, was accessible to outsiders, including journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, who had advance notice of the attack. The National Security Council confirmed the chat's authenticity, and officials may have committed a crime.
My communications to be clear in the Signal message group were entirely permissible and lawful and did not include classified information.
We need to take cybersecurity far more seriously and I look forward to leading on that.
The carelessness shown by President Trump's cabinet is stunning and dangerous.
What other highly sensitive national security conversations are happening over group chat? Any other random people accidentally added to those, too?
This administration is playing fast and loose with our nation's most classified info, and it makes all Americans less safe.
If senior advisors to President Trump in fact used non-secure, non-government systems to discuss and convey detailed war plans, it's a shocking breach of the standards for sharing classified information that could have put American servicemembers at risk.
Jeffrey Goldberg's reporting in The Atlantic calls for a prompt and thorough investigation.
Every single one of the government officials on this text chain have now committed a crime – even if accidentally.
Classified information should not be transmitted on unsecured channels – and certainly not to those without security clearances. Period.
There was no classified material that was shared.
