US officials share classified security information in group chat
The Trump administration is facing critiicism after the White House confirmed that a journalist had been added to an unsecure group chat in which US national security officials planned a military strike in Yemen.
The Atlantic magazine's Jeffrey Goldberg reported that he had been added to a Signal message group which apparently included Vice-President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He said he had seen classified military plans for US strikes on Houthi rebels, including weapons packages, targets and timing, two hours before bombs struck. Congress is now demanding an investigation.
