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.

Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. It couldn't have been very effective because the attack was very effective. I can tell you that.
Karoline Leavitt
Republican Party
1. President Trump continues to have the utmost confidence in his national security team, including National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.
Tulsi Gabbard
Republican Party
1. There was no classified material that was shared.
Mike Lawler
Republican Party
1. Classified information should not be transmitted on unsecured channels – and certainly not to those without security clearances. Period.
Brian Hughes
Republican Party
1. At this time, the message thread that was reported appears to be authentic, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain.
Pete Hegseth
US Department of Defense
1. Immediate risks on waiting: 1) this leaks, and we look indecisive; 2) Israel takes an action first – or Gaza cease fire falls apart – and we don't get to start this on our own terms.
2. You're talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who's made a profession of peddling hoaxes time and time again...This is a guy who peddles in garbage...Nobody was texting war plans and that's all I have to say.
3. VP: I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It's PATHETIC. But Mike is correct, we are the only ones on the planet (on our side of the ledger) who can do this.
Stephen Miller
White House
1. If the US successfully restores freedom of navigation at great cost there needs to be some further economic gain extracted in return.
Chris Coons
Democratic Party
1. 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.
2. Jeffrey Goldberg's reporting in The Atlantic calls for a prompt and thorough investigation.
3. Every single one of the government officials on this text chain have now committed a crime – even if accidentally.
