In recent developments, President Donald Trump has downplayed a significant security breach where senior administration officials inadvertently included Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, in a Signal group chat discussing classified military operations in Yemen. Trump referred to the incident as a "glitch," expressing continued confidence in his national security team. ​

The breach occurred when National Security Advisor Mike Waltz mistakenly added Goldberg to a group chat intended for high-level discussions on planned airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen. Participants in the chat included Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Goldberg reported that the messages detailed specific targets, weapon systems, and attack sequences.

Defense Secretary Hegseth has denied that war plans were shared in the chat, labeling Goldberg's account as "garbage." Despite these denials, the National Security Council has confirmed the authenticity of the messages and initiated an investigation into the breach.

The incident has sparked bipartisan concern, with calls for accountability and reviews of communication protocols for handling sensitive information.
