Senior cabinet members in Donald Trump participated in a serious security breach during Discussion of secret military plans The recent American attacks on the Houthi armed group in Yemen.
In an unusual error, the major figures in the Trump administration-including Vice President, JD Vance, Defense Minister Pete Hegseh, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marco Rubio, and National Intelligence Director, TULSI GABBARD-sign the commercial chat application signal to compete and discuss plans as well-with a promising journalist in the group.
The news was angry and called for an investigation into the United States, as the leader of the Senate minority has described it as “one of the most amazing violations of the military intelligence that I have read very long ago”
The signal was not approved by the United States government to exchange sensitive information.
Others included Trump’s adviser Stephen Miller; Trump Chief of Staff, Suzy Wells; The main envoy Trump Steve Whitchov.
It was a violation In an article published on Monday by Jeffrey GoldbergEditor of Atlantic magazine, who discovered that he was included in a signal conversation called “Al -Houthi Group for Little Computer” and realized that 18 other members in the group included members of the cabinet Trump.
In his novel, Goldberg said he had removed sensitive materials from his account, including the identity of a senior officer at the CIA and current operational details.
The report was confirmed by Brian Hughes, a spokesman for the National Security Council, who told the magazine: “This seems to be a series of authentic messages, and we are reviewing how an unintended number has been added to the series.”
“The thread is evidence of deep and thoughtful political coordination among senior officials. The constant success of the Houthi process clarifies that there are no threats to the forces or national security.”
Donald Trump told reporters at the White House he was not aware of the accident. “I don’t know anything about it,” Trump said.
In his first comments on this matter, Hegseth attacked Goldberg, but he did not shed light on the reason for using the signal to discuss the sensitive process or how Goldberg ended with a series of messages.
“No one was sending plans for war and this is all I should say about it,” Higseth said in an exchange with the correspondents after falling in Hawaii on Monday.
Goldberg responded to Higseth’s denial in an interview with CNN late on Monday, saying, “No, this is a lie. He was sending war plans.”
The White House press secretary, Caroline Levitte, issued a statement saying: “President Trump is still confident in the national security team, including National Security Adviser Mike Walz.”
The accident is likely to be concerned about the Trump administration’s merit with the intelligence that the former allies share – not the least of which is as Higseth in one stage of guaranteeing “100 percent security security” while the famous journalist reads his message.
The discussions in Goldberg include comments from Vans, who seemed not convinced by the urgency of attacking Yemen, as well as talks about what the price should be expected for Europeans and other countries to remove the threat to a major global charging path.
The US commentators described the US security and intelligence violation of operational security as unprecedented – both to use the commercial chat service and to integrate Goldberg.
In the American army, it operates the highest political level and intelligence services under strict rules for communicating with classified materials and to discuss issues related to operational security where a life and results can be done due to the disclosure.
Although the signal is considered a safe encoded chat service, its weakness is that the phones that are installed can be weak.
Among those who deviated from the breach was the democratic representative, Pat Ryan, a veterans of the army who sits in the Armed Services Committee in the House of Representatives, who described it by using the World War II episode “Fubar”-this means “sex with all confession.”
“If the Republicans in the House of Representatives do not hold a hearing on how this happens immediately, I will do it with my damn myself.”
Shin Harris, the National Security correspondent for a long time – formerly in the Washington Post and now with the Atlantic Ocean – wrote to Bluezki: “Within the 25 years of national security coverage, I haven’t seen a story like this.”
Goldberg writes that he was initially doubtful whether the messages may be a kind of foreign misinformation, but he became convinced that they are real because of the language and attitudes presented and because the plan that was discussed coincided with an actual attack on Yemen.
One of the amazing exchanges of Vance and HegSeth included consuming statements about Europe.
“The account that was identified as” JD Vance “has addressed a message at 8:45 to Pete HegSeth:” If you think we should do that, let’s go. I just hate to save Europe again.
Goldberg continues: “The user has been identified as HegSet has responded after three minutes:” VP: I share you completely in getting rid of the European free pregnancy. It is compassionate. But Mike is correct, we are the only ones on this planet (on our side of the professor’s book) who can do so.
“No one even soon. The question is the timing. I now feel a good time like any, given the directives of Potus to reopen the shipping lanes. I think we should go; but Potus still keeps a 24 -hour resolution.”
In fact, about 20 countries participate in the mission to protect the shipping from the Houthi attacks, including British warships.
When Goldberg was aware of the attack on Yemen, he recorded how he returned to Al -Athara channel:
“Michael Waltz” [US national security adviser] The group presented an update. Again, I will not quote from this text, except noting that it describes the process as a “amazing function”.
After a few minutes, [another individual wrote]: “Good start.”
Not long later, Waltz responded with three expressions: fist, American flag and fire. Others soon joined, including “March”, [Marco Rubio]. He wrote: “Good work house and your team !!” And “Suzy Wales”. I wrote: “Glory to all – especially those in the theater and center!
